canned food

A unique and delicious way to preserve rhubarb, this chutney is fabulous with pork, Indian curries, and over cream cheese as an appetizer.

Spicy Rhubarb Chutney to Can or Freeze

½ pounds rhubarb, (trimmed and sliced thin (8-9 cups))

brown sugar, (lightly packed (cut down

honey

apple cider vinegar

onion

raisins, (chopped in a food processor)

½ tablespoons grated fresh ginger, (or 2 teaspoons dried ginger)

cinnamon

allspice

sea salt

red pepper flakes*

Combine all the ingredients in a 6 or 8-quart stainless steel pot. Stir well and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to a simmer (a very gentle boil) and cook, uncovered, until thick, about 30 minutes. Stir occasionally, and more towards the end as the chutney is thickening.

For Canning: While the mixture cooks, prepare six half-pint jars (or three pints) and keep hot until needed. Prepare canning lids according to manufacturer&#39;s directions, and start the water heating in the canner. (Refer to these directions if you need a water bath canning refresher.)

When the chutney is cooked, ladle into 1 jar at a time, leaving 1/4-inch headspace, wiping the rim with a damp cloth, and attaching the lid. Place jar in prepared canner. Fill and close remaining jars.

Process jars in a boiling-water canner for 15 minutes. Turn off burner, remove lid and let jars sit in the canner for 5 minutes. Carefully remove to a towel-lined counter and let cool. Check seals before labeling and storing in a cool, dark place. Refrigerate any jars that didn&#x27;t seal to use within 3 to 4 weeks.

For Freezing: simply ladle slightly cooled chutney into clean freezer-safe containers, label and freeze for up to a year.

Stovetop

Blueberry chutney recipe with a little bit of spice, a little bit of sweet (only from the blueberries and honey), and a whole lot of flavor. Recipe yield is between 5-6 half pints.

Blueberry Chutney Recipe to Can or Freeze (Honey Sweetened)

red wine vinegar (or apple cider vinegar)

balsamic vinegar

raisins, (chopped)

garlic, (minced)

lemon

grated ginger (or 1½ teaspoons ground ginger)

mustard

sea salt, (or to taste)

red pepper flakes, (or to taste)

black pepper

Place blueberries into a large stock pot, either undefrosted frozen or fresh (if using fresh rinse and remove stems).

Add all the remaining ingredients to the pot and bring to a full boil over medium-high heat, stirring often. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer an hour, stirring regularly until the chutney has thickened to the desired consistency.

Use a hand-held immersion blender, if needed, to create a chunky-smooth sauce.

Let chutney cool and transfer to freezer safe containers leaving 1 inch headspace for expansion. Label and freeze up to a year.

To Freeze:

Ladle the hot chutney into hot half-pint or pint sized canning jars, leaving a 1/2-inch headspace. Wipe the jar rim clean with a damp cloth before placing lids and rings on jars. Tighten just to fingertip tight.

Process jars in a water bath canner for 15 minutes, starting timer after canner comes to a boil. When timer goes off, turn burner off, remove lid, and let jars sit in the canner for 5 minutes before transferring to a towel-lined surface to cool.

Leave to sit 12 hours or overnight before removing rings and testing the lids to make sure they have all sealed properly. Store on a cool, dark shelf for up to 18 months.

To Can:

I just made this today and made one major mistake. I only made half recipe! This is a fantastic chutney. I'm planning a roast pork tenderloin tonight to go with this. Right now I could sit down and eat it with a spoon. I'm hoping to restrain myself so my guests will get to enjoy it tonight.
