Apple-Apricot Chutney image

I am on a fresh ginger kick, plus it's the time of year (it's autumn as I write this) to use those fresh apples! I really appreciate that this recipe makes such a small amount that you can keep it in the fridge, without the bother of processing it. Makes a great hostess gift, too.

Categories     Chutneys

Time 50m

Yield 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 cups coarsely chopped peeled apples (typically, 2 apples are needed)
1 cup halved dried apricot (pack them into measuring cup when measuring)
3/4 cup white wine vinegar
1/4 cup golden raisin
2 tablespoons finely minced fresh ginger
2 cloves garlic, peeled and very thinly sliced
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon hot pepper flakes (or less)
1 cup white sugar

Steps:

  • In a large heavy pot (nonaluminum), combine fruit, vinegar, raisins, ginger, garlic, salt and hot pepper flakes; stir well.
  • Over high heat, bring to a boil.
  • Next, turn heat down to low, cover pot and simmer for about 10 minutes, or until you see that the apricots have plumped up.
  • Stir in sugar and return to a simmer; cook, uncovered and stirring very often, for about 20 minutes; mixture should appear thickened.
  • Place mixture in a clean pint (2-cup) jar and let cool a bit before screwing on lid; then keep chutney refrigerated.
  • Serve, cold from fridge, with a pork roast or with chicken, or in a sandwich, or with cream cheese and crackers; keeps well in fridge for at least 2 weeks--if it lasts that long without being devoured!
