Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces fresh cranberries
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups orange juice
- 0.5 cups water
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons ground cloves
- 0.25 cups raisins
- 0.25 cups chopped pecans (optional)
Instructions
Rinse the fresh cranberries thoroughly and set aside.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar, orange juice, and water. Stir until the sugar dissolves and the mixture begins to simmer.
Add the cranberries to the saucepan and lower the heat to medium-low.
Stir in the apple cider vinegar, grated ginger, ground cinnamon, and ground cloves. Mix well to distribute the spices evenly.
Cook the mixture, stirring occasionally, for about 10–15 minutes, or until the cranberries burst and the chutney begins to thicken.
Add the raisins and cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
If desired, stir in the chopped pecans for added texture and flavor.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the chutney cool to room temperature. The chutney will thicken further as it cools.
Transfer the cooled chutney to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve the cranberry chutney chilled or at room temperature as a side dish or condiment.
