Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz Fresh cranberries
- 1 cup Dried apricots
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 cup Water
- 0.33 cup Fresh orange juice
- 1 tsp Fresh orange zest
- 2 tsp Grated fresh ginger
- 0.5 tsp Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 tsp Ground allspice
- 0.25 tsp Salt
Instructions
Start by roughly chopping the dried apricots into small pieces so they will blend well with the cranberries in the chutney.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the cranberries, chopped apricots, granulated sugar, apple cider vinegar, water, orange juice, and orange zest.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir the mixture gently until the sugar dissolves completely.
Add the grated ginger, ground cinnamon, ground allspice, and salt to the saucepan. Stir to incorporate the spices evenly.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer.
Cook the chutney for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries have burst and the mixture has thickened to a jam-like consistency.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the chutney cool slightly. It will continue to thicken as it cools.
Transfer the chutney to a clean, airtight container and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve chilled or at room temperature with your favorite dishes, such as roasted turkey, pork chops, or a cheese platter.
