Peach Chutney

Ingredients

• 8 cups firm peaches, peeled and chopped
• 3 1/2 cups packed dark brown sugar
• 2 1/2 cups apple cider vinegar
• 1 1/2 cups raisins
• 3/4 cup chopped green pepper
• 1/2 cup minced fresh ginger
• 2 cloves garlic, crushed
• 1 unpeeled lemon, ends removed, seeded and chopped
• 2 tsp salt
• 1 tsp cayenne pepper

Directions

1. Add all ingredients to a non-reactive Dutch oven.
2. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring frequently, until thickened, about 3 hours.
3. Ladle into hot sterilized pint jars, leaving 1/2 inch headspace. Remove air bubbles with a narrow rubber spatula or plastic knife. If needed, add additional chutney to maintain headspace. Wipe jar rims thoroughly with a clean damp cloth. Seal and process in a boiling water bath for 25 minutes.
