Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 g Dried apricots
- 100 g Golden raisins
- 1 medium (diced) Onion
- 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
- 120 ml Apple cider vinegar
- 3 tbsp Honey
- 1 tsp Ground cinnamon
- 1.5 tsp Ground cumin
- 1 tsp Ground coriander
- 1 tbsp (grated) Fresh ginger
- 1 tsp Orange zest
- 250 ml Water
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
Instructions
1. Begin by finely dicing the dried apricots and chopping the golden raisins into smaller pieces. This ensures they evenly integrate into the chutney.
2. Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent.
3. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the pan, stirring well. Allow these to cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
4. Stir in the dried apricots, golden raisins, cinnamon, cumin, coriander, and orange zest. Mix until the ingredients are evenly coated in the spices.
5. Pour in the apple cider vinegar, honey, water, and a pinch of salt. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for 35-40 minutes.
6. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking. As the chutney cooks, it will thicken and the dried fruits will break down into a jammy consistency.
7. Once the chutney has thickened and the flavors have melded together, remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly.
8. Taste and adjust salt if necessary. Transfer the chutney to sterilized jars for storage, or serve immediately with your favorite dishes.
