Curried Apple Chutney

Ingredients:

• 2 quarts chopped, peeled and cored Golden Delicious apples (about 8 medium)
• 2 pounds seedless raisins
• 4 cups brown sugar
• 1 cup chopped onion (about 1 medium)
• 1 cup chopped sweet red peppers (about 2 medium)
• 2 hot red peppers, chopped
• 1 clove garlic, crushed
• 3 tablespoons mustard seed
• 2 tablespoons ginger
• 2 teaspoons allspice
• 2 teaspoons curry powder
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 4 cups vinegar, 5% acidity

Treat fruit with Fruit Fresh to prevent darkening. Rinse and drain. Combine all ingredients in a large saucepot. Simmer until thick, about 1 hour and 15 minutes, stirring frequently. Carefully ladle hot chutney into hot jars, leaving 1/4-inch headspace. Remove air bubbles. Wipe rim and threads of jar with a clean damp cloth. Place lid on jar with sealing compound next to glass. Screw band down evenly and firmly just until a point of resistance is met – fingertip tight.

Process 10 minutes in a boiling-water canner.

Yield: About 10 pints

Servings: 16 half pint and quarter-pint jars
Time to Prepare: 2 1/2 hours, including canning
