Pack jars: Ladle hot chutney into hot jars, leaving 1/4 inch of headspace. Remove air bubbles, wipe the rim of jars. Place lids and screw bands on: Place a lid onto each jar, and twist screw bands on. Process: Place into water bath canner (there should be at least 1 inch of water covering the tops of jars.
Stir salt, ginger, chili powder, cloves, and cinnamon into the mixture. Cook over low heat until desired consistency is reached, stirring often to prevent chutney from sticking, about 15 minutes.
Chutneys have a tendency to be sugar and carb-laden - Onion chutneys even more so! By using sweetener instead of sugar you can drastically reduce the carbs in this particular condiment. It goes great with sausage rolls of any sort and would be perfect as the base of our French-style pizza.
You could also vary the recipe by adding ingredients such as diced red capsicum for variation. If you store your chutney in an airtight jar, it will last for up to 2 weeks in the fridge. As this makes about 900 gms/ 31 oz of chutney, I tend to freeze half to 2/3’s in smaller containers so I can pull it out from the freezer as I need it.
