Apricot and Apple Chutney is a thick and chunky sweet preserve packed full of fresh and dried fruit.   Serve it with cheese and cold meats, it is also delicious with curry as an alternative to mango chutney. 

 

A passion for Apricots

Dried apricots for Apple and Apricot Chutney

I have a passion for apricots. I like them fresh and I like them dried and I particularly like the sweetness they bring to jams and chutneys. 

Apples for Apple and Apricot Chutney

Apples 

I have my own apple tree so come August and September I have plenty of apples to make a preserve.  However, this recipe only needs two large apples and you can use cooking apples or eating apples. 

Serving Suggestion for Apple and Apricot Chutney

Serve the Apple and Apricot chutney with cheese or cold meats. It is also a perfect alternative to mango chutney to serve with a curry.

Jar of Greengage and Apple Jam

Greengage and Apple Jam is simple to make and a delight to eat.  Serve the jam spread on bread, toast or scones.  Use it to fill a cake or include it in a yogurt dessert, there are so many ways to eat this jam.

Apple Pickle Recipe

Easy Apple Pickle is a crunchy sweet and sour pickle that, surprisingly, is not cooked at all.  It’s the perfect accompaniment to cheeses and cold meats and is a long time favourite in my kitchen. 

How to make Spicy Courgette and Apple Chutney

Spicy Courgette and Apple Chutney makes the best use of the bounty of the season.  Courgettes (Zucchini) and Apples are often in abundance at the same time and make perfect partners with a little chilli heat added to spice things up.

Cuisine British
Servings 28 portions
Calories 102 kcal

Ingredients
 

  • 150 g dried apricots chopped
  • 225 g chopped peeled apples (about 2 apples)
  • 180 ml vinegar
  • 40 g sultanas or raisins
  • 2 cloves garlic peeled and finely sliced
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp chilli flakes
  • 200 g granulated sugar

Instructions
 

  • In a large stainless-steel pot combine fruit, vinegar, raisins, garlic, salt and chilli flakes, stir well.
  • Bring to the boil.
  • Next, turn the heat down to low, cover the pot and simmer for about 10 minutes, or until the apricots have plumped up.
  • Stir in sugar and return to a simmer, cook uncovered, stirring until the mixture is thickened.
  • Sterilise your jars by rinsing in very hot water, then baking upside down in a low oven until the steam has evaporated.
  • Ladle the chutney into the jars and let it cool a little before covering with a screw top lid.

Notes

Makes approximately 2 jars.  You can double the ingredients to make a larger quantity but I would not recommend any more than double as the long cooking time is likely to result in the sugar burning to the base of the pan before the chutney thickens.

    This time of year always makes me want to make preserves in some form or another, hunkering down for the winter I guess. Nice recipe, I need to remember this for my cheese loving friends.

    That looks lovely, I don't normally make chutney so chunky but that really appeals to me. Thanks for entering.

    Congratulations on winning the grand prize Janice. I'm not sure I've ever had apricots in a chutney before, but I bet it tastes fantastic.
