Changing the jars for a fresh batch of chutney
Asked on 10 Sep 2019 by PudseyAnne
Two days ago I made your Spiced Plum Chutney (p.661 Cookery Course).
The jars I collected were all different sizes, but I was thinking of giving it away in normal jam jars once I've found some more! The question is, is it OK to transfer the chutney into other jars, either as soon as I have the jars or once they've had their 3-month mellowing? I would obviously do it as quickly as possible, put new waxed discs in and put the lids on immediately. Would that affect their keeping quality?
Thanks!

Hello,
You will need to wash and sterilize the new jars. Wash the lids and prepare new wax papers.
Then gently heat the chutney in a large saucepan or preserving pan until it reaches simmering point and then I would simmer for about 5 minutes stirring regularly.
Then pot into the new sterilized jars, top with the wax papers and clean lids.
I would do this as soon as you have the new jars before leaving it to mature.
Best wishes
