Ingredients

• 2 cups Mixed dried fruits (such as apricots, raisins, cranberries, and dates)
• 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, grated
• 0.5 cup Cider vinegar
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar
• 1 cup Water
• 1 tablespoon Curry powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground cloves
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
• 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the mixed dried fruits by chopping any larger pieces (such as apricots or dates) into bite-sized pieces to ensure uniform cooking. Set them aside.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the cider vinegar, brown sugar, and water until the sugar dissolves. Set aside.

Step 3

In a crockpot or slow cooker, combine the chopped dried fruits, onion, garlic, and fresh ginger.

Step 4

Sprinkle the curry powder, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using) over the fruit mixture.

Step 5

Pour the vinegar and sugar mixture over the ingredients in the crockpot. Stir everything gently to combine and evenly coat the fruit with the spices.

Step 6

Cover the crockpot with its lid and set it to low heat. Cook the chutney for 4 hours, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure the flavors meld together.

Step 7

After 4 hours, check the consistency of the chutney. If it's too thick, add a little water (1 to 2 tablespoons) and stir thoroughly. If it's too thin, continue cooking uncovered for another 15 to 30 minutes to reduce the liquid.

Step 8

Once the chutney has reached your desired consistency, turn off the crockpot and let it cool slightly.

Step 9

Transfer the chutney to clean, airtight jars or containers and refrigerate. The flavors will deepen as it sits, so it's best to allow the chutney to rest for at least a day before serving.

Step 10

Serve the chutney chilled or at room temperature with meats, cheeses, or as a side condiment. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
