Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh cranberries
- 2 medium Pear (ripe, peeled, cored, and diced)
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Apple cider vinegar
- 0.25 cup Orange juice
- 1 tablespoon Ginger (fresh, grated)
- 1 Cinnamon stick
- 0.25 teaspoon Cloves (ground)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Raisins (optional)
- 0.25 cup Water
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine fresh cranberries, diced pears, granulated sugar, apple cider vinegar, orange juice, and water.
Stir the mixture over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and the liquid begins to simmer, about 3-4 minutes.
Add grated ginger, the cinnamon stick, ground cloves, salt, and raisins (if using) to the saucepan. Stir to combine.
Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer uncovered for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries burst and the pears become tender.
Remove the cinnamon stick and taste the chutney. Adjust sweetness or acidity, if needed, by adding a little more sugar or vinegar.
Allow the chutney to cool to room temperature before serving. The mixture will thicken as it cools.
Serve chilled or at room temperature as a condiment or spread. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
