Ingredients for Apricot Chutney

  • Canola Oil
  • 1 tablespoon curry powder
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • Garlic Clove
  • 1 inch ginger, grated
  • Dried Apricot
  • 1/2 cup raisins
  • Fresh Lime Juice
  • 1/2 cup sugar

How to Make Apricot Chutney

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil and 1 tablespoon of curry powder in a 2-quart saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Cook, stirring frequently, until the curry powder is fragrant, about 2 minutes.
  3. Add 1 medium onion (finely chopped), 2 cloves garlic (minced), and 1 inch ginger (grated) and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 10 minutes.
  4. Add 2 cups dried apricots (chopped), 1/2 cup raisins, 1 cup water, 2 tablespoons lime juice, and 1/2 cup sugar.
  5. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the chutney has thickened to your desired consistency, about 20 minutes. The chutney should coat the back of a spoon.
  6. Remove from heat and let cool completely. The chutney will thicken further as it cools.
  7. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Makes approximately 2 cups.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
