Plum-Date Chutney image

Found this recipe in the paper, and am posting here for the coming plum season as I am always looking for fantastic new ways to use up the excess of plum's. Please note -- I am guessing the times as I have not made this yet. The serving size will also depend on the size of the jars you use.
