I didn't even consider using fresh apricots for this recipe but rather used almost 2 pouds of dried apricots instead! I quartered them before using & then went on to follow the recipe right on down! I seasoned it with lemon pepper rather than the usual S&P, then let it cook down & thicken for about 25-30 minutes! After it cooled a little, I used my trusty potato masher on about half of it & left the rest kind of chunky, which we like! VERY, VERY NICE TASTING CHUTNEY, & I'd like to make it again in another 4-5 months when I can get some nice fresh apricots to use! Thanks for sharing the recipe!
