He adapted this recipe from one he found on cooks.com. Needless to say, I think his is better! This chutney is delicious with chicken, and pork… and whatever else you like chutney with (we always eat it with Indian food).
1-3/4 cups cider vinegar
2 1/4 cups sugar
3 pounds apricots
4 TBL chopped fresh ginger
4 large cloves garlic, chopped
1-1/2 TBL mustard seeds
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 cup white raisins
1/2 cup seedless raisins
dried chilis–chopped, to taste (Note: L would use fresh habaneros if he had them here)
1TBL powdered cinnamon
Combine vinegar and sugar in a heavy saucepan and bring to a boil. Slice the apricts and add with the rest of the ingredients to the syrup. Cook until the apricots are almost tender. Strain everything out and return the syrup to a boil. Continue to boil until the syrup is reduced by half, and is thick; this will take about 15 minutes. Return the fruits to the syrup, bring back to a boil and pour into hot sterilized jars. Seal. This will make about 6 cups of chutney.
