Easy Bottled Sweet Apple chutney Recipe. Homemade bottled or canned apple chutney When life gives you apples in apple season. A No Bake Condiments Recipes idea to create for canning or bottling fruit chutney for a condiment. Great for storing and using through out the year.
Living on a farm you might have apple trees growing and have a surplus of apples to use. We had a box or two of apples and needed to make something with them. Being in Ecuador this product is not purchasable, so then you have to make chutney. Coming from South Africa one is accustomed to buying these amazing chutney products. This recipes is so easy and makes quit a large quantity. I halved the recipe simply because I only had a certain size cooking pot. Bottled the chutney mixture, as we would be using it often. Canning is also an option and would be kept for a much longer period of time.
How long does homemade apple chutney last?
All chutneys and relishes and pickled fruits last up to a year on the shelf at room temperature. When you open them up to use then store in the fridge for at least 4-6 weeks.
What is the best vinegar to use for chutney?
A good make of white, wine or malt or apple cider vinegar will poses the qualities to produce a great and lasting chutney. Also if you chutney is darker then use a brown sugar and a white sugar when the fruit is lighter.
Do you bottle chutney hot or cold?
The bottles should be sterilized and clean and dry, but still HOT. Fill the chutneys while still warm to the top of the jar. This will prevent any condensation trapped in the jar. The chutneys or any preserves normally also shrink slightly when cooler. It is important to seal the jars while still hot. These are the rules for all jams, pickles and preserves.

How To
The apples are peeled, cored and chopped into small pieces or as desired. Then raison and spices as per recipe are added, brought to a boil.
Once boiled and simmered until not liquid is at bottom of the pot. Test with a spatula. Sterilize some jars and fill the hot liquid into them. Sealing well and leave to cool. This amazing chutney is best kept first for a month then used.
Make a few jars to keep for a while. Where we live in Ecuador there isn’t any chutney to purchase in the supermarkets. Therefore we make a lot of our own condiments. Which is great because we are on the farm and grow some of our own veggies.
