Prepare Ball brand or Kerr brand jars and closures according to manufacturer's instructions.
Combine all ingredients in a large saucepot. Cook slowly until thick. As mixture thickens, stir frequently to prevent sticking.
Carefully ladle hot chutney into hot jars, leaving 1/4-inch headspace. Remove air bubbles with a nonmetallic spatula. Wipe jar rim clean. Place lid on jar with sealing compound next to glass. Screw band down evenly and firmly just until a point of resistance is met -- fingertip tight.
Process 15 minutes in a boiling-water canner. At elevations higher than 1,000 feet, boil 2 additional minutes for each additional 1,000 feet elevation.
This recipe yields about 3 pints.
