This is a nice basic chutney that lends itself to adaptation to different fruits. I don't really like apricots, so I used a cup of cranberries, an apple and a clementine. I had to add some extra sugar because of the tartness of the cranberries, but other than that I stuck to the recipe, adding the optional crushed red pepper. Thanks for sharing!

EXCELLENT! Homemade chutney is something I've never made...I guess I thought it was a whole lot harder than this! I used frozen aprium halves from my tree. I used 1/4 cup Splenda brown sugar blend and it was very sweet...I may half it again next time. I used the rice wine vinegar and didn't add any chili peppers. I would suggest removing the whole spices at the end or you might bite into one and have instant fresh breath like I did. LOL. This is a definite KEEPER recipe that I will make fresh for all of my Indian theme meals! Made for the Zaar tag game.

I am a middle aged foodie who has had the luxury of living all over the world except asia. Lived in or grew up in Nigeria, Kenya, Chicago, Russia,and haiti. born in New Zealand, brother born in Austria and many more.
I have chronic medication resistant depression after 10 years on anti depressants that worked well but would stop working after a year or two, so now do my best at home living on disabilty. Not a bad thing, many have far worse health issues but i have been able to concentrate on food/cooking.
My main passions are my cats. I live in the woods and somehow many starving strays or "dumps" have found the message babies who passed on left in the woods saying "suck lives at xxxx road. Most arrive sick and/or starving. Right now i have 2 that arrived with feline herpes and their attendant 2ndry bacterial infections but are doing beautifully. One old man who was going to be euthanized bc a lady who found him as a stray was moving and didnt want him...well he was a biter and rather grumpy who was in ICU for 3 days with a deadly gut infection which was fixed but he left with a diagnosis of diabetes. 3 months on insulin and finally diet controlled and he caught the herpes virus, respiratory symptom version and turned into a cuddler. Butterscotch must think "why didnt i figure out this cuddle stuff was great before i got sick!" Doing wonderfully even though he has bouts. he and the other kids are my babies. Sadly Butterscotch died of Lymphatic cancer in winter of 2008. A year before Big Boy arrived in my life, starving and weak. Full of affection he jumped into my arms and stayed, turns out he has FIV (cat hiv) so he needs to be watched closely. I love him dearly
