Well holy cow I was not expecting that

[desperance]

I just spent an hour making a spicier apricot chutney for my own amusement, with the last of the apricots. I boiled it up and heated my jars in the oven, and was merrily filling the jars with a ladle and admiring how it hissed and bubbled against the glass - and there were suspicious cracking sounds, and a slumping of order into chaos, and both jars just came apart.

Fortunately they were in a deep oven dish, so the deluge of chutney had nowhere to go, but - well. I guess you can overheat jars?

And now of course the chutney alas has nowhere to go but the bin, because shards of glass. Internet, I am distress.
