Again this is an experiment. I've tasted the result and I think it will make a nice sweet chutney, difficult to tell until it's sat for a wee while though.

Apricot Chutney (no sugar)

1kg apricots, stoned and chopped
500 grms sultanas or raisins
100 grms cranberries
300 dates (cut into small pieces)
Piece of grated ginger
4 cloves garlic
600 ml vinegar (I use cider vinegar)

Place all ingredients in a pan, bring to the boil and simmer for about an hour, until thickened. Spoon into hot jars and seal.

Not a big apricot fan, but sounds interesting!

This was ready quicker because of the apricots, about 6 weeks I think.
