Combine cider vinegar & orange juice in a small jug. Dry-fry garlic, nuts and spices for a couple of minutes and then add the apricots, syrup and half of the vinegar / orange juice mixture. Simmer for 20-30 minutes adding a little more of the vinegar / orange juice mixture whenever the liquid gets soaked up. Pour into warm, sterilised jars, cover & seal. Leave to mature in cool dark flavours to develop. Enjoy!
