Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces fresh cranberries
- 0.5 cups orange juice
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons ground ginger
- 1 teaspoons orange zest
- 1 medium diced apple (peeled and cored)
- 0.5 cups golden raisins
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
Instructions
Rinse the fresh cranberries thoroughly under cold water and set them aside.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the orange juice, granulated sugar, and apple cider vinegar. Stir well to dissolve the sugar.
Set the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Add the cranberries, diced apple, golden raisins, orange zest, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, and salt to the saucepan.
Stir the mixture to combine and allow it to return to a simmer.
Cook for 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries have burst and the mixture thickens. Use the back of a spoon to gently mash some of the cranberries if desired for a smoother texture.
Taste the chutney and adjust the seasoning, adding more sugar or salt if necessary to balance the flavors.
Remove the chutney from heat and let it cool to room temperature. The chutney will thicken further as it cools.
Once cooled, transfer the chutney to a clean, airtight container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve chilled or at room temperature as a side dish, condiment, or spread. Enjoy!
