Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large apples (peeled, cored, and diced)
- 2 cups fresh or frozen cranberries
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup brown sugar
- 0.5 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
- 1 whole cinnamon stick
- 0.125 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
- 0.25 cup water
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 cup raisins (optional)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the diced apples, cranberries, granulated sugar, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, and water. Stir well to combine.
Add the grated fresh ginger, cinnamon stick, ground cloves, orange zest, and salt. If using raisins, stir those in as well.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally to ensure the sugar dissolves.
Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer uncovered for about 30-35 minutes, stirring occasionally. The cranberries should burst, and the chutney will thicken as it cooks.
Once the mixture has thickened and the apples are tender, remove the saucepan from the heat. Discard the cinnamon stick.
Allow the chutney to cool to room temperature. The chutney will continue to thicken slightly as it cools.
Transfer the chutney to a sterilized jar or airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Serve cold or at room temperature as a condiment or side dish. Enjoy!
