How to Make Sweet Cherry Chutney

  1. Combine 4 cups pitted sweet cherries, 2 cups granulated sugar, 1 cup apple cider vinegar, 1/2 cup water, 1/4 cup chopped red onion, 1/4 cup chopped crystallized ginger, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves, and 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice in a large stainless steel or enamel pot.
  2. Bring the mixture to a full, rolling boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly until the sugar is completely dissolved.
  3. Reduce the heat to a gentle boil, stirring frequently to prevent sticking. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the chutney has thickened considerably, about 60 minutes. The chutney should coat the back of a spoon.
  4. Stir in 1/2 cup raisins and continue to boil for 5 more minutes.
  5. Remove from heat and let cool slightly (about 10 minutes). Skim off any foam that has formed on the surface.
  6. Ladle the hot chutney into clean, sterilized half-pint jars, leaving 1/2 inch headspace at the top of each jar.
  7. Process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes at altitudes up to 1000 feet. Adjust processing time according to your altitude if necessary (consult a canning guide for precise instructions).
