Now that the Apricots are cheap and abundant now is the time to make this chutney when you have tasted this chutney, you will never buy Branstan, Pan Yan or any other commercially made chutney ever again.

Bring to the boil over fairly high heat, stirring (I am good at this) constantly, then lower the heat and simmer gently, stirring occasionally, for 1-1.5 Hrs until soft and pulpy. Stir in the sugar and the rest of the vinegar and simmer for 40 – 50 minutes or till thick. Remove the pan from the heat and ladle into clean warmed jars. Seal, lable & store for at least 6 weeks before using ( It is well worth the wait). Makes about 4Kg of chutney.
