How to Make Hot Orange Chutney
- Zest the oranges and lemon using a microplane or fine grater. Set aside. Juice the oranges, reserving 1 cup of juice.
- Remove all the white pith from the oranges and discard.
- Cut the oranges into quarters, remove any seeds, and chop into 1/2-inch cubes.
- Peel, core, and coarsely chop the apples.
- In a large, heavy-bottomed Dutch oven or pot, combine the orange zest, lemon zest, orange juice, orange cubes, apple pieces, cider vinegar, brown sugar, raisins, crystallized ginger, cinnamon, cloves, allspice, cayenne pepper (if using), and salt.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium-high heat, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
- Reduce the heat to low, cover partially, and continue to simmer gently for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until the chutney has thickened considerably and the apples are tender. Stir occasionally to prevent scorching. The chutney should coat the back of a spoon.
- While the chutney simmers, sterilize six pint-sized canning jars and lids in boiling water for 10 minutes. Keep hot.
- Ladle the hot chutney into the prepared jars, leaving 1/2-inch headspace at the top.
- Run a clean plastic knife or spatula around the inside of each jar to remove any air bubbles.
- Wipe the rims of the jars clean with a damp cloth.
- Seal the jars with new, sterilized lids and tighten the rings.
- Place the filled jars in a large pot or canner, ensuring they are covered by at least 1 inch of water. Bring to a gentle boil and process for 10 minutes.
- Carefully remove the jars from the water bath and let them cool completely on a rack or towel.
- Check the seals by pressing down on the center of each lid. If the lid doesn't flex, the seal is good.
- Store sealed jars in a cool, dark, and dry place for up to 1 year.
