Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces fresh cranberries
- 0.5 cups orange juice
- 1 tablespoon orange zest
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 0.25 cups brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons ground ginger
- 0.25 teaspoons ground cloves
- 0.5 cups raisins
- 0.25 cups chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Rinse the fresh cranberries thoroughly under cold water and set aside.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the orange juice and granulated sugar. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has fully dissolved.
Add the cranberries to the saucepan, and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries begin to pop.
Stir in the brown sugar, orange zest, apple cider vinegar, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, and ground cloves. Mix well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
Lower the heat to a simmer and let the mixture cook for another 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.
Add the raisins and chopped walnuts (if using) to the chutney. Stir well and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the chutney to cool to room temperature. The mixture will thicken as it cools.
Transfer the chutney to a serving bowl or airtight container. Serve immediately, or refrigerate for up to one week for later use. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
