Easy Fig Chutney using Kilner Jars

In addition to enjoying fresh figs, we love using them to make Fig Chutney if we find ourselves with more than what we can consume. This easy Fig Chutney recipe is one of the many ways to preserve your figs, minimising wastage of this nutritious fruit. It is best served as a condiment alongside cheese, crackers, or poultry, making it the perfect complement to cheese platters and grazing boards. You can also use it as a sandwich spread to elevate your gourmet sandwich, perfect for lunch and picnics. We rely on our favourite Kilner Jar to store our Fig Chutney every time we make a fresh batch. The vacuum seal feature of these jars ensures that the chutney is better preserved for longer. That way, we will be able to leisurely enjoy the chutney without worrying about it spoiling so soon.
