Instructions
- Combine 1 pound kumquats, 2 medium carrots, ⅓ cup dried apricot halves, ⅓ cup dried cranberries, 1 small chili, 1 small onion 1 clove garlic and 1 cup cider vinegarin a saucepan. Bring to a boil and simmer for 5 minutes. Add ½ cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons honey, 2 teaspoons kosher salt, ¼ teaspoon ground cardamom, ¼ teaspoon ground cloves, ¼ teaspoon ground coriander, ¼ teaspoon ground ginger and ½ teaspoons black peppercorns and return to a boil.
- Reduce the heat and keep the chutney at a steady simmer for 45 minutes until the kumquats are quite soft and the mixture has thickened to the consistency of a jam.
- Add a little water if the chutney gets too thick before the fruit is cooked. The chutney will continue to thicken as it cools.
- The chutney will keep for several months in the refrigerator (I store it in a mason jar).
