Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh cranberries
- 1 cup dried figs
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 cups orange juice
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons ground cloves
- 0.5 cups water
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
Instructions
Wash and sort the fresh cranberries, discarding any bruised or shriveled ones.
Chop the dried figs into small pieces, removing any tough stems.
In a medium saucepan, combine the cranberries, chopped figs, sugar, apple cider vinegar, orange juice, orange zest, grated ginger, cinnamon, cloves, water, and salt.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir well to combine the ingredients.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer uncovered for 20–25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
As the cranberries burst, use the back of a spoon to mash them slightly, creating a thick and chunky texture.
Once the chutney has thickened and the figs are soft, remove it from the heat and let it cool for 5–10 minutes.
Transfer the chutney to a clean, airtight jar or container and let it cool completely before refrigerating.
Serve chilled or at room temperature as a condiment. This chutney pairs beautifully with roasted meats, cheese boards, or holiday meals.
