• Meanwhile, in large kettle, cover 2 pint or 4 half-pint canning jars with water and heat to boiling over high heat; boil 10 minutes to sterilize. Drain jars on clean towel. In small saucepan, cover the jar lids and bands with water and heat to simmering. Remove from heat and leave lids and bands in water until ready to use
• Spoon chutney into drained, hot jars Fill to within 1/2-inch of top of jars. Wipe rims of jars with damp cloth and seal with lids and bands. Process in boiling water bath 10 minutes. Cool jars; label and store in cool, dark, dry place.

• Place chutney into the fridge after opening and use within 2-3 months.

Steps:

• In a medium nonreactive saucepan, stir together the vinegar, spiced rum, sugar, onions, ginger and mustard seeds until the sugar dissolves. Bring to a boil over high heat. Adjust heat so the mixture boils gently and cook for 15 minutes to reduce the mixture slightly. Remove pan from the heat.
• Peel and core the pears. Cut them into 1/4 inch chunks.
• Immediately stir the pear chunks into the vinegar mixture to prevent discolouring.
• Return the saucepan to the heat. Bring mixture to a simmer over medium high heat. Add the tomatoes. Reduce the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally for 50 minutes longer, or until the pears have cooked down and are softened but still retain some shape. (The chutney will be just slightly fluid but will thicken when chilled.) Let cool briefly.
• Pour the chutney into glass storage jars. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or until thoroughly chilled and slightly thickened.

Steps:

• Combine apples, pears, onion, vinegar, sugar, cherries, lemon, mustard seeds, salt, cinnamon, ginger, allspice, and cloves in a wide, nonreactive 4-quart pot over high heat and bring to a boil. Once it bubbles, reduce heat to medium; simmer gently, stirring often, until mixture is thickened and a spoon drug through leaves a trail that doesn't fill in immediately, about 1 hour. Toward the end of the cooking, make sure to stir every minute or so to prevent scorching. Remove from heat.
• Working with one jar at a time, remove empty jars from canning pot. Using a wide-mouth funnel, carefully ladle jam into jars, leaving 1/2 inch for headspace. Use a clean wooden chopstick to work air bubbles out of jars. Check headspace again and add more chutney if necessary to bring to 1/2 inch from the top.
• Wipe jar rims, apply lids and rings (not too tightly), and return jars to canning pot. Cover pot and return water to a rolling boil. Process for 10 minutes. Turn off heat, remove pot lid, and let jars stand in the cooling water 5 minutes to help ensure a good vacuum seal.
• Move jars to a folded kitchen towel or wooden cutting board to cool completely before checking seals. Any unsealed jars should be refrigerated and eaten promptly. Store sealed jars in a cool, dark place. Sealed jars are shelf-stable at least 1 year.

Steps:

• Combine all the ingredients, except the pears, in a large, thick-bottomed saucepan and bring to the boil. Simmer uncovered over a very low heat, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon.

Leave to cool completely, then store in sterilised, clean jars.
