How to Make Lemon Chutney

  1. Combine 1 cup of lemon juice, 1 cup of sugar, 1/2 cup of water, 1/2 cup of chopped onions, 1/4 cup of grated ginger, 1/4 cup of chopped green chilies, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of turmeric powder in a large stainless steel or enamel pot.
  2. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 45 minutes, stirring frequently and mashing ingredients with a potato masher or spoon as it cooks to achieve desired consistency.
  3. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Ladle the chutney into sterilized hot jars, leaving 1/2 inch of headspace at the top of each jar.
  4. Seal the jars tightly. Process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes at altitudes up to 1000 feet. For higher altitudes, adjust processing time according to your altitude's canning guidelines.
