Add the apricots, saffron, lemon rind, honey, curry paste and grape juice.
simmer, uncovered, for 30-40 minutes or until the curry mixture is the consistency of thin chutney.
Cool. Blend the mixture in a food processor, then pass through a sieve.
Remove the chicken meat from the bone, discarding the skin.
Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and place in a bowl.
Cover and refrigerate until required.
Stir half of the curry mixture into the mayonnaise (freeze the remainder for later use).
Mix in the cream and seasoning to taste.
Fold the chicken into the curry sauce.
Serve with a rice or mixed rice and lentil salad, garnished with herbs.
