Spiced Dried-Fruit Chutney

This aromatic spiced dried fruit chutney is a versatile addition to any pantry, offering a delightful balance of tangy apple cider vinegar and rich, dark black treacle. The combination of chewy apricots, sweet figs, and golden raisins creates a complex texture that is lifted by the warming notes of fresh ginger and toasted coriander seeds. It is a vibrant, colourful condiment that improves with a little time, making it an excellent make-ahead project for the festive season or a thoughtful homemade gift.

As a naturally vegan recipe, this preserve is an ideal accompaniment to a plant-based cheeseboard or served alongside savoury nut roasts. The deep, concentrated flavours also pair beautifully with sharp cheddar or cold cuts of meat. Quick to prepare and naturally sweet, this chutney provides a sophisticated way to use store-cupboard staples for a truly gourmet result.
