Re-jarring homemade chutney

greensalad

I'm intending to give tomato chutney as Christmas gifts and had ordered some lovely jars on Amazon that sadly have not arrived. I've had to reorder them but my tomatoes are starting to go soft as I expected to have the jars last week and picked the tomatoes last week too, so I don't want to waste them.

I have some other old Kilner jars that aren't as nice but will do. My question is can I re-jar the chutney if I make it tonight and put it in the old jars (sanitised, of course). 

I presume I'll need to put the chutney back in the pan and heat it back to boiling before re-jarring in the new jars when they arrive. Perhaps even wait until the chutney has matured some before moving it over to the new jars. As long as I can get it done for Christmas it doesn't matter when.

Thanks!

As an alternative could you just freeze the going soft toms until you're ready?

They will be mushy once defrosted but they're going to be boiled anyway
