Season chutney to taste with salt and sweetener, if desired. Immediately pour into the prepared jars, seal and let stand upside down for 5 minutes. Turn glasses again and allow chutney to cool. (The chutney keeps well sealed and stored for about 2 months in refrigerator.)

If possible, buy cardamom in an Arabic or Asian shop - there it is not only cheaper, but above all it is usually particularly fresh and aromatic. Its essential oil soothes the stomach and intestines and is even said to act as an aphrodisiac.
