Mmmmmm Apricot Chutney

Got another abundance of organic homegrown apricots from my BFF.

She has so much on her tree and she has no idea or time to do something with them, so of course I was happy to help her out by turning a kilo of fruit, into 3 jars of spicy sweet chilli apricot chutney πŸ˜‹πŸ˜‹πŸ˜‹.

Perfect To Go With My Veggie Curry

Apricot Health

Apricots are full of vitamins & minerals and carries a lot of health benefits from heart, liver & eye health, strong bones πŸ’ͺ🏻, youthful looking skin to reducing inflammation.

It’s also very high in fibre, and I can confirm, really aids in the bowl movement department… Won’t be eating a whole bag in one sitting again…πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜‚πŸ€£πŸ˜‚

Anyhow πŸ™ƒ, they are delicious raw or cooked, and dried apricots carry even more vitamins and minerals, so eat them while they’re in season πŸ‘πŸ˜‹

Thankfully, I turned the rest into this easy one pot apricot chutney πŸ˜‹.

Best Thing, Chutney Lasts For Ages

So good with a little cheese on crusty bread, serve it with curries or on burgers, sausage sizzles, use as a glaze or mix it with a little oil and apple cider for a tangy dressing .

Best thing, keep it in a cool dark place, and it will last for years.

However looking at the many uses, these jars won’t last long .

Recipe can be found down below πŸ‘‡

So get cracken!

Recipe Notes

Chutney, unopened will last for up to a year stored in a cool, dark spot.

Β 

Once opened, chutney should be stored in the fridge and consumed within a month.

Β 

I choseΒ  green apples, as I like a little tartness to it, feel free to use a sweeter apple if you prefer.

Β 

Be sure to pour chutney in warm or room temperature jars, as cold jars may crack from shock of the heat from the hot chutney.
