Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Apples (peeled, cored, and diced)
- 1 cup Dried apricots (chopped)
- 1 medium Onion (finely chopped)
- 0.75 cup Apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger (grated)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cloves
- 1 teaspoon Mustard seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Water
- 0.5 cup Raisins (optional)
Instructions
In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the apple cider vinegar, water, and brown sugar. Heat over medium heat and stir until the sugar dissolves.
Add the diced apples, chopped dried apricots, onion, ginger, garlic, mustard seeds, cinnamon, cloves, and salt into the saucepan. If using raisins, add them at this point as well.
Stir the mixture well to ensure all the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for about 40-45 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
The chutney is done when the apples and apricots are soft and the mixture has thickened to a jam-like consistency.
Taste and adjust the flavors, adding more salt or a splash of vinegar if desired.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the chutney cool slightly.
Transfer the chutney to sterilized jars and seal tightly. Allow it to cool completely before refrigerating.
For best flavor, let the chutney sit for at least 2-3 days before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve as a condiment with grilled meats, cheeses, or as a spread in sandwiches. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.
