Chicken With Apricot Salsa

Features:
    Cuisine:

    I often have plain grilled meat so finding great sauces/salsas is a must. This one is a keeper. I was worried about it being too sweet so used a reduced sugar jam. I made 2 small changes... I read the recipe incorrectly and used ground coriander seeds (cilantro) rather than the dried leaf. The other was that I'd run out of cinnamon stick so used 1tspn of ground. Also, I fried off the dried spices prior to adding the other ingredients so they wouldn't have that 'raw' taste. I found the spices to be well balanced and well matched to the other ingredients. I have left-overs which I think will go wonderfully well with grilled lamb. Thanks Mike. Made for Aus/NZ Make My Recipe #5
