How to Make African Dried Fruit Chutney

1. Combine all ingredients in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan.
2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally.
3. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 60 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
4. 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.
5. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
6. Once cooled, carefully transfer the chutney to sterilized jars, leaving ½ inch headspace.
7. Seal the jars and process in a boiling water bath for 15 minutes (following safe canning practices).
8. Let the jars cool completely before storing in a cool, dark place.
