Ingredients

• 3 cups Apples (peeled, cored, and diced)
• 1 cup Dried apricots (chopped)
• 1 medium Onion (finely chopped)
• 0.75 cup Apple cider vinegar
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger (grated)
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground cloves
• 1 teaspoon Mustard seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Water
• 0.5 cup Raisins (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the apple cider vinegar, water, and brown sugar. Heat over medium heat and stir until the sugar dissolves.

Step 2

Add the diced apples, chopped dried apricots, onion, ginger, garlic, mustard seeds, cinnamon, cloves, and salt into the saucepan. If using raisins, add them at this point as well.

Step 3

Stir the mixture well to ensure all the ingredients are evenly distributed.

Step 4

Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for about 40-45 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 5

The chutney is done when the apples and apricots are soft and the mixture has thickened to a jam-like consistency.

Step 6

Taste and adjust the flavors, adding more salt or a splash of vinegar if desired.

Step 7

Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the chutney cool slightly.

Step 8

Transfer the chutney to sterilized jars and seal tightly. Allow it to cool completely before refrigerating.

Step 9

For best flavor, let the chutney sit for at least 2-3 days before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 10

Serve as a condiment with grilled meats, cheeses, or as a spread in sandwiches. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.
