What is the sealing process? I do canning but I am not sure of what you mean by sealing?

Donna: By sealing I simply mean screwing the lids on straight after you pour in the hot chutney. Once jars are cool check that the lids are on tight. That’s all there is too it. Because of the high vinegar content and the long cooking the chutney keeps for years, unopened, on a shelf.
I have some unopened jars that are 4 years old – I opened one recently and it was fine. The taste improved with keeping.

I just spent an hour trolling thru the hundreds of green tomato recipees.
The main thing I learned was to boil the mixture for long enough to let the tomato yeild it’s sugars. Not sure this is correct chemistry but with sultanas and rasins in there you have enough sweetness anyway. I like to add 500gm of hot chilli peppers to my pan and a couple of carrots finely chopped to add texture. lotsa gtarlic of course and be sure to use a good malt vinegar not some crappy supermarket fancy brand.

I can’t tell you how thrilled I am to have stumbled upon your blog! I have so many green tomatoes leftover from the season and fried green tomatoes does not sound appetizing at all! I am going out today to buy the spices for the chutney which I can’t wait to make.
2 questions: Who maufactures the jars shown in your photos above? I love the lids! Have you made the chutney in a slow cooker and if so did you have to adjust the recipe in any way?

Thanks so much for the yummy recipe!

Jeannie: The jars come from a firm called Lakeland. I haven’t made the chutney in a slow cooker so don’t know if the recipe would need adjusting. Hope you enjoy it!

[...] I buy green tomatoes every year at least once, just for the pleasure of seizing the fleeting moment. I have made green tomato jam, which I remember from my childhood; I have improvised fried green tomatoes, after seeing the movie; this year I decided to make green tomato chutney. This recipe is compiled from examples I found in a couple of my cookbooks and online. [...]

I have tried similar recipes in the past but didn’t understand the sealing process. After letting the jars sit around for a few months, I threw them out. Was worried I didn’t seal them properly. Is it as simple as stated? Just fill the jars, seal and they are OK to sit on a shelf? Do I need to water bath can??
