This recipe is a little more involved than regular chutneys but it is well worth the time and effort. Not sure of the amount of jars for this as the recipe did not state how many...so I guessed. The prep/cook time does not take into account the soaking time of the apricots. Ingredients:
2 lbs dried apricots, chopped and soaked |
5 oranges |
3 medium onions, chopped |
3 cups raw sugar |
2 1/2 teaspoons coriander seeds, crushed |
1 tablespoon coarse salt |
2/3 cup raisins |
2 1/2 cups vinegar |
Directions:
1. Put the oranges whole into boiling water. Boil for 5 minutes. Remove from water and cool.
2. Peel oranges and remove pith. Cut peel into thin strips.
3. Chop the oranges into small bits. Be sure to collect all the juice. Remove seeds.
4. Strain the apricots and put them in a saucepan with the oranges and remaining ingredients. Mix well.
5. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for about 1 hour or until the chutney is thick and the apricots are soft. Stir frequently.
6. Pour the chutney into warm sterilized jars and seal.
7. Keep for a couple of days before eating.
