How to Make African Dried Fruit Chutney
- Combine all ingredients in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 60 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- After 60 minutes, remove the lid and continue to simmer for another 50 minutes, or until the chutney has thickened to your desired consistency. Stir frequently to prevent burning.
- Remove from heat and let cool completely.
- Once cooled, carefully transfer the chutney to sterilized jars, leaving ½ inch headspace.
- Seal the jars and process in a boiling water bath for 15 minutes (following safe canning practices).
- Let the jars cool completely before storing in a cool, dark place.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
