     1/2  cup           strawberry conserve
                        fresh lemon juice
 

Preparation:

Sauté the onions in the peanut oil for 10 minutes. Stir in the garlic, ginger and curry spices and continue to sauté, stirring constantly for 3 minutes. Add the zucchini and water and stir well so that the spices won't stick to the pot. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Mix in the green beans, apple, peppers and dried apricots. Simmer gently, covered for about 30 minutes. Stir occasionally and add a little more water if needed to prevent sticking. When the fruit and vegetables are quite tender, stir in the raisins, the conserve and the lemon juice. Taste and adjust to your liking if necessary. If you need it to be more spicy, add more cayenne or garam masala. If you want it sweeter, add more conserve. Tarter, add more lemon juice. Serve on a bed of rice, topped with nuts and banana.
