This chutney goes well with ham or other pork dishes. I make it as an alternative to glazing hams, since I don’t really like a sweet glaze on ham. This is somewhat sweet, but also tangy with a good curry flavor. If a hot curry powder were used instead of the garam masala, this could be quite spicy.
Try to use apricots that are a little bit sour or tangy rather than ones that are too sweet. The bell pepper can be any color but green, since the strong flavor will overpower the other ingredients.
A little goes along way, so this small recipe can work for a number of diners.
