- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1 red or orange bell pepper, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- 1 cup dried apricots, quartered
- 1/2 cup water
- 3/4 cup cider vinegar
- 5 tablespoons sugar, divided
- 1 1/2 teaspoons curry powder, preferably Madras
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Bring all ingredients to a boil in a nonreactive 2-quart saucepan, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, until chutney is thickened but still saucy, about 50 minutes. Cool chutney, uncovered, then chill, covered, stirring occasionally, at least 2 hours (to allow flavors to develop) and up to 1 week.
