Ingredients
- 12 ounces dried apricot halves boiling water
- 4 large cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh ginger
- 2 cups sugar
- 1-1/2 cups red wine vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup halved pitted dates
- 3/4 cup golden raisins
Directions
Place the apricots in a bowl and pour in enough boiling water to cover them. Let the apricots soak for 30-60 minutes. Drain the apricots and place them in a saucepan. Add the garlic, ginger, sugar, vinegar, cayenne pepper and salt and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat and simmer the ingredients, stirring occasionally, for 20 minutes. Add the dates and raisins and cook for another 20-25 minutes or until the fruits are tender and thick. Let cool. Makes about 2-1/2 cups












Sounds delicious!
I made lots of this — almost all gone; great with roasted chicken. More to make for Purim mishloach manot.
Just made it for Shabbat. Tangy, sweet and spicy at the same time! Also, I used chopped prunes instead of golden raisins giving beautiful color(using up chametz). Delicious!
