I decided this year that I would not buy presents for friends and that I'll give home made goodies instead. It would be so much more of a personal touch. I don't know about you but sometimes I find it very difficult to come up with a gift for some one and have to think "did I give them this 2 years ago?" Well, this change will certainly solve all this.
One of the goodies I decided to try my hand at this year is a chutney. Sounds wonderful doesn't it. I think these are such nice presents especially if they are packed away into pretty jars with ribbons and gift tags. I picked this particular chutney recipe because I had a couple of unopened packets of dried apricot sitting in my kitchen cupboard. I think I bought these a while back with the intention of making some apricot brioche ... hmm never got to it. No worries cause they would now come in real handy.
This is a chutney with a bit of zing, perfect with cold meats and cheese. It'll go well with a sandwich as well. I'm thinking that you could even add a dollop on top of an Italian salad dressing. It's so good that you likely finish all of this in one sitting!
