Thoroughly enjoyed making this recipe, & particularly liked the combo of the berries, apple & OJ! Froze half of it but we like it so much that the frozen half batch won't be there long, & I'll be making this again soon! Thanks for a great keeper!

I am fortunate, we have friends who own a blueberry farm, so we get flats of blueberries each year. I am always looking for interesting recipes involving blueberries and especially ones that I can use from the frozen state. I made this up with the intent of canning rather than using the freezer (lack of freezer space). I washed out the jars and added the hot chutney...they sealed properly and did not require a water bath. My only mistake, was that I let the chutney cook to long, so I ended up with 1-3/4 cups (instead of 3 cups). Next time, I will watch cooking time a little bit better and maybe add more seasonings to kick it up a bit. On the whole, a really nice recipe to serve over cream cheese and crackers and something that I will do again. Much appreciated NurseDi
