Keeps a long time in the fridge, given the acid and sugar. A good couple of months.
This was a giant hit at Thanksgiving so I just made it again. It's perfect with chicken and fish too. One guest isn't a fan of apricots so I used golden raisins; I used 3 apples because, well, I like apples and I used a lot less honey - keep tasting it until it's right for you. I love this!
Inspired by this to make a chutney, I used apple and cranberries and raisins and used some onion, clove and cardamom and a bit of wine and raspberry vinegar and honey and a bit of sugar. Delicious and more so after about a week in the fridge.
We seem to be in the minority with this recipe. It was far too sweet, and tasted mostly of apricots and honey. It never really set, and looked nothing like the photo. If you attempt it, try it with half the honey and apricots to start. I won't be making this again.
This tastes good but looks nothing ike the picture.
Make sure to finely chop the apples, oranges and apricots. Also start adding the other ingredients in step 2 as soon as a couple of the cranberries pop. I waited too long and the cranberries all cooked down before the liquid thickened so the end result doesn’t look as appealing as it does in the pic.
