Distribute the chutney and apricot pieces over the pork chops and roll them up. Fry them brown on all sides in the butter. Lower the heat and simmer the rolls for 15 minutes; turn them halfway. Take them out and keep them warm. Add the Amarula and cream to the pan and reduce on high heat to half. Pour this sauce over the pork rolls.
