Wonderful Apricot-Cranberry Chutney

Kittencalskitchen's Note:

This is *SO* delicious and only improves with chilling time, you may omit the raisins and add in more apricots, this goes wonderful with turkey or ham and also is wonderful on sandwiches, I suggest to double for a crowd --- you will *love* this!

I did a double batch of this chutney, not only because I have a friend who was more than willing to take some of it, but also because, after all, if combining apricots, cranberries, apples & raisins isn't enough of a reason, then, what is! The spices, the fruit, all of it, just great [on crackers, too, as well as on cottage cheese]! Thanks for posting your recipe!
