Peach Or Pear Chutney

Recipe Instructions Prepare Ball brand or Kerr brand jars and closures according to manufacturer's instructions. Combine all ingredients in a large saucepot. Cook slowly until thick, about 40 minutes. Stir frequently to prevent sticking. Carefully ladle hot chutney into hot jars, leaving 1/4-inch headspace. Wipe jar rim clean. 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. At elevations higher than 1,000 feet, boil 2 additional minutes for each additional 1,000 feet elevation. This recipe yields about 7 pints. Caution: When cutting or seeding hot peppers, wear rubber gloves to prevent hands from being burned.
