This weekend, Saturday saw us pretty much confined to barracks, as we had heavy rain and thunderstorms forecast for pretty much the whole day and, for a change, the forecast was spot on.
There was nothing for it. Time to make our favourite Courgette and Apricot Chutney. I'd already got all of the ingredients in as this was on my agenda for the coming week, as the courgettes, that we'd grown from seed for the first time, were in abundance and I didn't want them to go to waste.
We tried this recipe for the first and only time a couple of years ago. It's a chutney that definitely improves with age, and we'd not that long ago finished our last jar, so it was time to stock up the store cupboard.
The measurements for the ingredients made us sufficient chutney to fill 11 small jars.
600g courgettes
500g ready to eat, dried apricots
500g cooking apples, peeled & cored weight
450g red onions, peeled weight
2 level tsps ground ginger
1 level tsp ground allspice
1 level tsp salt
568ml bottle distilled white malt vinegar
500g granulated sugar
About 20 minutes before the chutney is ready, sterilise your jars.
Fill the jars with the chutney and put on the lids.
Store for at least six weeks in a cool dark cupboard before using.
Once opened store in the fridge.
I wish for the great of success in all of our destiny endeavors
