Tangy Apricot Preserve Chutney
Tangy Apricot Preserve Chutney balances bright acidity with jammy sweetness, rounded out by caramelized onion and mellow roasted garlic. Warm ginger and a gentle cayenne kick create a layered finish that shines alongside curries, grilled meats, and cheese boards, or as a lively accent for sandwiches. Serve it when you want a sweet-heat condiment that elevates rich or savory mains.

Cut the top off the half head of garlic with a sharp knife to expose the cloves. Discard the top. Set the head of garlic on a piece of aluminum foil, drizzle with 1/4 teaspoon of olive oil, and wrap the foil around it. Roast in the preheated oven until golden brown, 30 to 40 minutes.

While the garlic roasts, add the onion and 1 tablespoon of olive oil to a saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring, until the onion is browned, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in the apricot preserves, vinegar, ginger, cayenne pepper, and salt until well combined.

Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of their skins and mash them in a bowl with a spoon. Stir the garlic into the chutney; bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 25 minutes. Stir carefully, as any splashes of chutney will be burning hot.

Pack the chutney into sterilized jars and process to seal.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products
easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.
The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.
Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.
For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
