I alter everything , but I tend to opt for a mix of Jamie Oliver, Delia, good food and Mary berry.
. I always use a lot less sugar in everything as find recipes vey sweet even marmalade ones, but add extra chilli, garlic or whatever else I like or need to use up .
Sorry not much help
I go 1/4 of sugar in recipe usually . I don't think it's required. Just depends on taste I don't have a sweet tooth.
You need to be careful cutting out that much sugar in the recipe ...the sugar and vinegar are preservatives, they just won't keep if you cut it all out.

I dont try to keep long, it's gone ....instantly .
Generally a chutney needs to mature before its at its best. The vinegar mellows and the flavours improve. A chutney for me is a preserve, I use them to help store my gluts. If you eat them fast fair enough but I love to use them for gifts and a chutney or pickle that doesn't have a long shelf life isn't worth getting my chutney pan out.
But that is several weeks worth and it would need storing in the fridge.
Sauces often don't have a long shelf life, but then I'll make it in smaller quantities....just a couple of small bottles that are kept in the fridge.
