    Hello, I’m about to make this and was wondering if you know if I keep it in sterilized jars and boil those shut (not sure of the English term) if it keeps for longer?

      Dorothy, did you ever try to can or boil this chutney? I would like to have it shelf stable in jars also. In the US we call it “water bath canning”. People also use a pressure canner to do low acid foods like meat or beans. This is called “pressure canning”. Due to FDA regulations there is much controversy in the US around what foods are able to be canned and how to process them. I understand people in other countries frequently water bath, steam can, or open kettle can many foods for long term shelf stable storage.
