Dice the bell peppers, onions, plums, apples, and ginger. Crush the peppercorns and mustard seeds in a mortar and pestle. Finely chop the chili and hot peppers. Place the cloves and allspice in a tea strainer. Place all ingredients, except for a handful of diced plums and apples, in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Then simmer for about 45 minutes. Add the remaining plums and apples 10 minutes before the end of the boil. Remove the tea strainer and, while still hot, pour into twist-off jars, seal, and turn upside down. Store in a cool place. This chutney goes well with many meat dishes and cheeses.
