How to Make Zippy Apricot Chutney

  1. Finely chop 1 large onion, 2-3 jalapeños (remove seeds for less heat), and 1 inch piece of ginger.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, jalapeños, and ginger. Cook, covered, for about 8-10 minutes, or until the onions are softened and translucent.
  3. Stir in 1 cup of granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon of ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon of turmeric powder, 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper (or to taste), 1/2 cup of white wine vinegar, 1/4 cup of water, and 2 cups of chopped fresh apricots.
  4. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to a gentle simmer. Cook uncovered for 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chutney has thickened and the liquid has reduced significantly. The chutney should coat the back of a spoon.
  5. Remove from heat and let cool completely to room temperature. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt to your preference. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
