Hi there. I am looking for a recipe on how to make chutney using Jalapeno chilli's as the main ingredient. I need to be able to keep the chutney for quiet a lengh of time ie preserve it? Thanks.

Try the green chutney using jalapenos instead of normal green chillies. Pour the chutney in ice trays and freeze it. After it is frozen remove the chutney cubes and put it in ziploc bags. This stays good for 6-8 months. Whenever you need just take a chutney cube and heat it.
