Homemade Fruit Ketchup

“I cannot spend winter without my fruit chutney (or how we say in French, fruit ketchup) as a companion of meat pie, duck, “raclette”, or even the children’s shepherd's pie. I also like to offer a jar as a gift, with a nice kitchen towel and a new wooden spoon.” ~ Hélène Laurendeau

Yields about 18 cups (4.5 l)
