Categories     Side Dish     Sauces and Condiments Recipes     Chutney Recipes

Time 1h20m

Yield 50

Number Of Ingredients 9

½ whole head garlic
¼ teaspoon olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 cups apricot preserves
1 cup white vinegar
2 teaspoons ground ginger
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
½ teaspoon salt

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.

APRICOT CHUTNEY



Apricot Chutney image

Provided by Andrew Friedman

Categories     Sauce     Vegetarian     Apricot     Simmer

Yield Makes about 1 cup

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons distilled white vinegar
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons honey
1/2 small onion, minced
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated (from 1-inch knob)
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
6 ounces dried apricots (about 20 to 25 apricots), roughly chopped

Steps:

  • In small saucepan over low heat, stir together 3/4 cup water, distilled and red wine vinegars, sugar, honey, onion, ginger, cloves, salt, and pepper. Simmer, uncovered, until onions are very soft, about 5 minutes. Add apricots and simmer, uncovered, until apricots are very soft and liquid is syrupy, about 40 minutes. Cool to room temperature before serving. (Chutney can be made ahead and refrigerated, covered, up to 2 days.)

Tips:

  • Use ripe, fresh apricots for the best flavor and texture.
  • If you don't have fresh apricots, you can use dried apricots. Just be sure to soak them in hot water for 30 minutes before using.
  • You can use any type of vinegar you like in this recipe. I used apple cider vinegar, but you could also use white vinegar, red wine vinegar, or balsamic vinegar.
  • If you don't have any crystallized ginger, you can use fresh ginger. Just peel and grate it.
  • If you want a spicier chutney, you can add more chili flakes or cayenne pepper.
  • Store the chutney in a clean, airtight jar in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Apricot chutney is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used in a variety of dishes. It's perfect for adding a touch of sweetness and spice to grilled meats, fish, and poultry. It can also be used as a dipping sauce for appetizers or as a spread for sandwiches and wraps. No matter how you choose to use it, apricot chutney is sure to be a hit!
