Apricot and Apple Chutney
Apricot and Apple Chutney is a sweet chunky chutney packed full of fresh and dried fruit. It's easy to make with everyday ingredients and delicious with cheese and cold meats. Apricot and Apple Chutney also makes a great homemade gift.
Ingredients
- 150 grams dried apricots chopped
- 225 grams chopped peeled apples (about 2 apples)
- 180 millilitres vinegar
- 40 grams sultanas or raisins
- 2 cloves garlic peeled and finely sliced
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon chilli flakes
- 200 grams granulated sugar
Instructions
- 150 grams dried apricots, 225 grams chopped, 180 millilitres vinegar, 40 grams sultanas , 2 cloves garlic, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon chilli flakesIn a large stainless-steel pot combine the 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.
- 200 grams granulated sugarStir in sugar and return to a simmer, cook uncovered, stirring until the mixture is thickened.
- The chutney is thick enough when you can draw a wooden spoon through the mixture and the track made by the spoon remains.
- Ladle the chutney into sterilised jars.
- Let the chutney cool in the jar a little before sealing 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.
