This is a great side to any meal, and especially to a South African feast. The sweetness of the peaches and apricots really offsets the heat from the chiles and spices. And the whole dish is brought together by the brightness of the lemon juice. We substantially reduce the calories of this dish by reducing the sugar from 1 lb to ½ C. By adding more chile powder and lots of lemon juice and Black Strap Molasses for richness, we don’t think for a minute you’ll miss the extra sweetness.
