Tested chutney & relish recipes

We removed the custom plum chutney recipe that was on this page. It was not a published NCHFP-tested formula, and we will not host processing times we cannot verify against USDA or Ball tested sources.

That matches our product decision: recipes are not included in the canner box (liability), and we point customers to authoritative books for formulas beyond the small set we host on this site.
