Season chutney to taste with salt and vinegar, immediately pour into prepared jars and seal. Let cool for 5 minutes upside down. Turn glasses right side up and allow to cool completely. (Store chutney refrigerated for up to 2 months.)

Tip: To preserve the chutney for longer, you will need to process the jars according to manufacturers instructions.

Lots of fruit, little sugar: With the fruity-hot chutney you are definitely right in terms of calories. Chilli and ginger provide spiciness that slightly stimulates the metabolism.

You can also use plums instead of prunes. Then possibly season with a little more balsamic vinegar, because plums contain more fructose and taste sweeter.
