This chutney is great with cheese, poultry, pork and even fish like salmon. The walnuts provide the Omega 3 and the apricots are low in sugar yet high in vitamin C. This is a lot of chutney so... you can freeze it, can it or give it to friends. Spread the joy.

Ingredients:
3 lbs Apricots
2 cups Fructevia, Steviva Brand Stevia Blend or 1/4 teaspoon of Steviva Brand Stevia Powder mixed with 2 cups of applesauce
8 oz dried raisins
1 lb Onions; peeled, chopped fine
2 teaspoons Salt
1 1/2 pint Cider vinegar
1 teaspoon mustard
2 Garlic cloves -- peeled, crushed
1/2 teaspoon powdered allspice
8 oz Walnuts very roughly chopped
2 Oranges (rind only)

Instructions:
Split and stone the fresh apricots and chop roughly. Boil the chopped onions for a few moments to soften them, otherwise you always seem to get a few hard bits. Drain. Put all the ingredients except the walnuts into a large preserving pan and bring to the boil. Turn down the heat and cook gently, stirring regularly, for 1 1/2 hours until the mixture is thick and jammy. Stir in the walnuts. Put into in warm sterilized jars or freeze.
