Cardamom Spiced Apricot and Rhubarb Chutney
When life gives you rhubarb….
….. make chutney.
Pots and pots and pots of fragrant cardamom and ginger spiced apricot rhubarb chutney.
So much so that;
OH’s cheese and chutney sandwiches are covered for 2 months
plus 6 birthdays (string sorted and tags already written out)
and one pot to just bury my face in
plus enough still left over to feed a small African nation.
Obsessed.
Nah.
Just love it.
Hope you love this chutney recipe too.

That must be delicious !
Honestly, you had me at the name!!! This just SOUNDS delicious. And I love that it can double up for gift duty, brilliant!
love this chutney! we are big fans of apricot also!
Thanks guys.
It looks and sounds divine! I bet the smell in the house when you cooked it was amazing!
You have no idea how great the smell was.
This looks divine Bintu! I made a somewhat similar one last year http://thebrusselscooker.blogspot.be/2013/05/my-subtly-spiced-and-sumptuous-rhubarb.html but I agree that the apricot is so much nicer than raisins… I shall make a big batch of yours this weekend!
I checked yours out. Going to have to try yours too.
Making chutney is definitely on my bucket list, Bintu, and apricot and rhubarb sounds like an amazing flavour combination to start with. I’m really into homemade gifts at the moment so this one’s going on the list of options!
I will be looking to make homemade Christmas gifts again this year so I get you.
Oh, it looks so good!
😀
Amazing, amazing amazing! Is all I am going to say. Spices + rhubarb = perfection
My point of view exactly Tina. I so agree.
Rhubarb? I must admit that I have never tried rhubarb. That’s why I love blogs because you get introduced to all kinds of new recipes to try out items that you wouldn’t normally try out….
If you have a garden then try and plant some Rhubarb. I keeps coming back with very little effort from us Sharon.
This would be so good with some cheese and crackers. I love anything apricot.
That is exactly how OH has been having it Dannii.
This sounds divine, Bintu! Love the spiced apricot, so delicious!
Apricots are good for Tagines, chutney and granola.
This certainly does it for me Bintu. All the spices sound good but I’m loving your addition of apricots too.
Thanks Choclette – I prefer using apricots to raisins.
My nan would loooove this!! I need to make it for her.
