How to Make Dried Fruit Chutney

  1. Soak 1 cup dried apricots in 1 cup water overnight. Drain and chop into small pieces.
  2. In a large saucepan, combine the chopped apricots, 1 large chopped apple (cored and diced), 1/2 cup finely chopped red onion, and 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar.
  3. Wrap 2-3 fresh green chilies and 1 inch piece of fresh ginger in a piece of cheesecloth or muslin; tie securely.
  4. Add the spice bag to the saucepan.
  5. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce heat to low and cook for 30-35 minutes, or until the apples are very soft and mushy, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
  6. Remove the spice bag and discard.
  7. Stir in 1 cup granulated sugar and continue to simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the chutney has thickened to your desired consistency, stirring frequently to prevent sticking and burning.
  8. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  9. Carefully transfer the chutney to sterilized jars, leaving a small amount of headspace. Seal tightly.
  10. Once completely cool, store in a cool, dark place. Enjoy!
