Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Dried apricots
- 1 cup Dried cranberries
- 0.5 cup Apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 1 cup Water
- 0.5 cup Red onion, finely diced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 1 piece Cinnamon stick
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground allspice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Orange zest
- 0.25 cup Orange juice, freshly squeezed
Instructions
Finely chop the dried apricots and set them aside.
In a medium saucepan, combine the apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, and water. Stir over medium heat until the sugar has dissolved.
Add the chopped apricots, cranberries, diced red onion, fresh ginger, cinnamon stick, ground allspice, salt, and black pepper to the saucepan.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and allow it to simmer uncovered for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. The mixture should thicken as it cooks.
Stir in the orange zest and freshly squeezed orange juice during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
Remove the chutney from the heat and discard the cinnamon stick. Let the mixture cool slightly before transferring it to a sterilized jar or airtight container.
Allow the chutney to cool completely, then store it in the refrigerator. It can be served immediately or kept chilled for up to 2 weeks for even better flavor development.
