Ingredients

• 1 cup Dried apricots
• 1 cup Dried cranberries
• 0.5 cup Apple cider vinegar
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar
• 1 cup Water
• 0.5 cup Red onion, finely diced
• 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
• 1 piece Cinnamon stick
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground allspice
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Orange zest
• 0.25 cup Orange juice, freshly squeezed

Directions

Step 1

Finely chop the dried apricots and set them aside.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, and water. Stir over medium heat until the sugar has dissolved.

Step 3

Add the chopped apricots, cranberries, diced red onion, fresh ginger, cinnamon stick, ground allspice, salt, and black pepper to the saucepan.

Step 4

Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and allow it to simmer uncovered for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. The mixture should thicken as it cooks.

Step 5

Stir in the orange zest and freshly squeezed orange juice during the last 5 minutes of cooking.

Step 6

Remove the chutney from the heat and discard the cinnamon stick. Let the mixture cool slightly before transferring it to a sterilized jar or airtight container.

Step 7

Allow the chutney to cool completely, then store it in the refrigerator. It can be served immediately or kept chilled for up to 2 weeks for even better flavor development.
