1/4 oz. ginger, peeled and ground

Wash and mince the chilies and the garlic. Put into saucepan with the ginger. Add vinegar, sugar, ground mixture and salt. Cook, stirring constantly for a few minutes, then add the apricots and let mixture boil gently, until quite thick. Store covered in the refrigerator.
