From Annabel Langbein’s “The Free Range Cook: Simple Pleasures”

This “really useful” savory apricot glaze gives ham, chicken and spare ribs a wonderful golden gloss in the oven, and will certainly be on my Christmas ham. It also makes a terrific dip for fresh vegetables, or spring rolls or pot stickers, and would make a great hostess gift packaged in a pretty jar.

Servings: Yield: 3 ½ cups

Servings: Yield: 3 1/2 cups
Ingredients
  • 1 pound apricots
  • 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
  • 3 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 to 2 long red chiles, or more to taste, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon five-spice powder
  • 2 teaspoons soy sauce
  • Finely grated zest of 1 lime or lemon
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • ¼ cup white vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • Ground black pepper
Steps
  1. Remove pits from apricots and place in a large, heavy-based pot with all other ingredients. Bring to a simmer, stirring now and then, cover and cook over medium heat until fruit is very soft and pulpy (about 10 minutes). Transfer to a food processor and whiz until smooth. Adjust seasonings to taste. Store in a jar in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.  Can also seal in jars with sealing lids for use in Winter.
