Central Otago apricots are the best and if you can’t enjoy them fresh from tree then there are plenty of dried apricots to purchase.

Ingredients

24	Dried apricots, plump (Main)
¾ cup	Orange juice, or apple juice
8 rashers	Streaky bacon, use 9 if necessary (Main)
¾ cup	Apricot chutney, spicy

Directions

Place the apricots and fruit juice in a bowl. Cover and microwave for about 3 minutes, until softened. Stand, until cool.
Brush each bacon rasher with chutney. Cut into pieces long enough to wrap around each apricot. Secure with small skewers.
Grill for 2-3 minutes, turning once or twice during cooking. Brush with more chutney and serve.
