A simple South African recipe that uses apricot jam to create a lovely spiced chutney.

Provided by S

Categories     Side Dish     Sauces and Condiments Recipes     Chutney Recipes

Time 1h20m

Yield 50

Number Of Ingredients 9

½ whole head garlic
¼ teaspoon olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 cups apricot preserves
1 cup white vinegar
2 teaspoons ground ginger
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
½ teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
  • Slice the top off the half head of garlic with a sharp knife, exposing the cloves. Discard the top. Place the head of garlic on a piece of aluminum foil, drizzle with 1/4 teaspoon of olive oil, and wrap the foil around the garlic. Roast in the preheated oven until golden brown, 30 to 40 minutes.
  • While garlic is roasting, place the onion and 1 tablespoon of olive oil into a saucepan over medium heat and cook and stir until the onion is browned, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in the apricot preserves, vinegar, ginger, cayenne pepper, and salt until thoroughly combined.
  • Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of their skins, and mash them in a bowl with a spoon. Mix the garlic into the chutney; bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat and simmer until thickened, about 25 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir carefully because any splashes of chutney will be burning hot.
  • Pack the chutney into sterilized jars and process to seal.

APPLE-APRICOT CHUTNEY



Apple-Apricot Chutney image

I am on a fresh ginger kick, plus it's the time of year (it's autumn as I write this) to use those fresh apples! I really appreciate that this recipe makes such a small amount that you can keep it in the fridge, without the bother of processing it. Makes a great hostess gift, too.

Categories     Chutneys

Time 50m

Yield 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 cups coarsely chopped peeled apples (typically, 2 apples are needed)
1 cup halved dried apricot (pack them into measuring cup when measuring)
3/4 cup white wine vinegar
1/4 cup golden raisin
2 tablespoons finely minced fresh ginger
2 cloves garlic, peeled and very thinly sliced
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon hot pepper flakes (or less)
1 cup white sugar

  • Next, turn heat down to low, cover pot and simmer for about 10 minutes, or until you see that the apricots have plumped up.
  • Stir in sugar and return to a simmer; cook, uncovered and stirring very often, for about 20 minutes; mixture should appear thickened.
  • Place mixture in a clean pint (2-cup) jar and let cool a bit before screwing on lid; then keep chutney refrigerated.
