Method

  1. Heat the oil in a small non-stick pan, then cook the onion and garlic for 5 mins until soft. Stir in the apricots, sultanas, ginger, orange juice and vinegar, then bubble gently for 10-15 mins until the apricots become pulpy and most of the liquid has been absorbed.
  2. Stir in the sugar and cook for 2 more mins until the chutney is sticky, then season and cool. Transport to the picnic in a small jar or pot with lid.

    This is a delish recipe.gorgous over grilled fish,calamari,any indian curry.we add a nice red chili pepper in each jar.However..unless you plan to use this straight away..it should be processed in a hot water bath for 10 minutes ..actually canned.When we make this we make about 20 jars.So,we do not let the chutney cool down,we fill HOT jars with rubber seal lids,with hot chutney..tighten lids and place in a hot water bath for the 10 min.they will seal and keep for one year!!Worth the effort.If you do not choose this way,they will keep in the fridge for about a month.Hope this is helpful.

    We used mangos instead of Apricots..we cannot get Apricots in Zanzibar,but plenty of mangos,added a red chili pepper to each jar as we like abit of a kick and it looks pretty,tumeric,and canned it,using the traditional 10 minute hot water bath !So this way I have plenty when I need it or want it.Keeps for one year..but only about a month in the fridge once opened or NOT canned. Excellent on grilled fish,Calamari,really yummy!Hope this is helpful!

    Have not made it but it lacks the vinegar and the sugar for it to keep as long as a normal chutney. It is irritating when such advice is not available and no-one answers the question.

    re: how long it last for. It says below the recipe:- STORAGE: 'This fresh chutney is designed to be eaten within 5 days of cooking. It has a small amount of vinegar in, but not enough to preserve the other ingredients. Store the chutney in the fridge.'

    I've done it and used only half a sugar and it is enough. Perfect with roasted herby pork loin.
