Chop the dried apricots, figs, raisins, and dates into small, bite-sized pieces.
In a medium saucepan, combine the apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, and water. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves completely.
Add the chopped dried fruits, grated ginger, minced garlic, cinnamon, cloves, black pepper, and salt to the saucepan. Stir to combine all the ingredients.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the fruits are soft and the mixture thickens into a chutney-like consistency.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the chutney cool to room temperature.
Transfer the chutney to a clean, airtight jar or container. The chutney can be served immediately or stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks to enhance the flavors further.
