Autumn Apple Pear Chutney

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1

   {'id': 'step_0', 'step': 1, 'text': 'Inspect 6 half-pint jars for cracks and rings for rust, discarding any defective ones. Immerse in simmering water until chutney is ready. Wash new, unused lids and rings in warm soapy water.'}

2. 2

   {'id': 'step_1', 'step': 2, 'text': 'Combine apples, pears, vinegar, sugar, cherries, onion, lemon, mustard seeds, salt, cinnamon, ginger, allspice, and cloves in a wide, nonreactive 4-quart pot over high heat; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium; simmer gently, stirring often, until mixture is thickened and a spoon drug through leaves a trail that doesn't fill in immediately, about 1 hour. Stir every minute or so toward the end of cooking to prevent scorching.'}

3. 3

   {'id': 'step_2', 'step': 3, 'text': 'Pack chutney into hot, sterilized jars using a wide-mouth funnel, filling to within ½ inch of tops. Run a clean wooden chopstick around insides of jars to remove any air bubbles; add more chutney if necessary to bring level to ½ inch of tops. Wipe rims with a moist paper towel to remove any residue. Top with lids and screw rings on tightly.'}

4. 4

   {'id': 'step_3', 'step': 4, 'text': 'Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars 2 inches apart into the boiling water using a holder. Pour in more boiling water to cover jars by at least 1 inch. Bring to a rolling boil, cover, and process for 10 minutes. Turn off heat, uncover pot, and let jars stand in cooling water for 5 minutes to help ensure a good vacuum seal.'}

5. 5

   {'id': 'step_4', 'step': 5, 'text': 'Transfer jars from stockpot to a folded kitchen towel or wooden cutting board to cool and let rest, several inches apart to cool completely. Press centers of lids with a finger to ensure lids do not move up or down. Any unsealed jars should be refrigerated and eaten promptly. Remove rings for storage and store in a cool, dark area. Sealed jars are shelf-stable for at least 1 year.'}
