Apricot Chutney

Submitted by Samantha in Ut

"This is sooo good with pork! To prevent the apples from browning, measure vinegar into saucepan before preparing the apples. As the apples are chipped drop them into the vinegar. This recipe is from the "Ball Complete Book of Home Preserving." The process time is for altitudes 0-1,000 ft, adjust for your area if needed."
