APRICOT CHUTNEY

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.

Steps:

• In a large stainless-steel pot combine the fruit, vinegar, raisins, garlic, salt and chilli flakes, stir well.

• Next, turn the heat down to low, cover the pot and simmer for about 10 minutes, or until the apricots have plumped up.
• Stir in sugar and return to a simmer, cook uncovered, stirring until the mixture is thickened.
• The chutney is thick enough when you can draw a wooden spoon through the mixture and the track made by the spoon remains.
• Ladle the chutney into sterilised jars.
• Let the chutney cool in the jar a little before sealing with a screw top lid.

APPLE-APRICOT CHUTNEY

Steps:

• In a large heavy pot (nonaluminum), combine fruit, vinegar, raisins, ginger, garlic, salt and hot pepper flakes; stir well.
• Over high heat, bring to a boil.
• 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.
• Serve, cold from fridge, with a pork roast or with chicken, or in a sandwich, or with cream cheese and crackers; keeps well in fridge for at least 2 weeks--if it lasts that long without being devoured!

APPLE CHUTNEY

Steps:

• Combine the apples, onion, ginger, orange juice, vinegar, brown sugar, mustard seeds, pepper flakes and salt and in a large saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce the heat to simmer and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, for 50 minutes to 1 hour, until most of the liquid has evaporated. Take off the heat and add the raisins.
• Set aside to cool and store covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

SPICED APRICOT CHUTNEY

Steps:

• Halve and stone the apricots, then chop them into small pieces. Peel and coarsely chop the onions, ginger and apples, and put in a food processor. Roughly chop the chillies and add to the food processor along with the seeds. Blitz until finely chopped, then tip into a large pan and add the spices, salt and vinegar. Bring to the boil, then turn down and simmer for 10 mins, stirring occasionally.
• Add the apricots and return to the boil. Simmer for a further 10 mins until the apricots are starting to soften, then tip in the sugar and stir until dissolved. Increase the heat and boil for 15-20 mins, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is thick and leaves a brief trail when a wooden spoon is dragged across the base of the pan.
• Pot into warm clean jars and label. Store for up to a year in a cool dry place.

PEAR & DRIED APRICOT CHUTNEY

Steps:

• Combine all the ingredients, except the pears, in a large, thick-bottomed saucepan and bring to the boil. Simmer uncovered over a very low heat, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon. Continue to cook for about 1 hr, giving it a stir every 10 mins, until the mixture is syrupy. Add the chopped pears and cook for another 30 mins, stirring occasionally. Leave to cool completely, then store in sterilised, clean jars.
