Pork Pie with apricot

I'm thinking of making a pork pie topped with apricots. What do you think? Is there another flavour I can maybe mix with the meat that will compliment both pork and apricots?
Thanks!

Mind you, I s'pose it's usually pork, chicken and apricot pies.

Apricots make me think of North African flavours, warm spices, cinnamon, nutmeg, cumin, coriander, saffron etc. Maybe raisins and nuts (pinenuts?).

I was considering something christmassy (cinammon), and I really, really like your idea! I think that would work a treat, and be slightly unusual. Great idea, thanks, Wheels.

I often mix Branston/ caramalised onions to the pork: is mincemeat (christmas stuff) a weird concept?

Cranberries also are excellent layered on top of pie filling!

I sell a range of pies which include fruit. I dont top them just add the fruit to the mix. One of the best sellers is a pork and apple pie. I also sell a chicken and apricot, venison and casis which sometimes includes blackcurrants and a pheasant and cranberry or redcurrant pie.
If using apricots, whiz them down on a food mixer with a little plain flour to keep the apricot seperate and add to your pork mix or chicken mix. Very attractive colours and a nice complimentary taste.
