logo Apricot & Walnut Chutney

Makes approx 6 lbs.

  • 3 lb Apricots
  • 1 lb Onions - peeled, chopped fine
  • 1 1/2 pt Cider vinegar
  • 2 Garlic cloves - peeled, crushed
  • 2 Oranges (rind only)
  • 1 lb Light brown sugar
  • 8 oz Sultanas
  • 2 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp English mustard
  • 1/2 tsp Powdered allspice
  • 8 oz Walnuts very roughly chopped

Split and stone the fresh apricots and chop roughly.
Boil the chopped onions for a few moments to soften them, otherwise you always seem to get a few hard bits. Drain.
Put all the ingredients except the walnuts into a large preserving pan and bring to the boil.
Turn down the heat and cook gently, stirring regularly, for 1 1/2 hours until the mixture is thick and jammy.
Stir in the walnuts.
Pot while hot in warm sterilised jars. Seal.
