Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces fresh cranberries
- 1 large apple (peeled, cored, and diced)
- 0.5 cup golden raisins
- 0.75 cup brown sugar
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup apple cider vinegar
- 0.25 cup orange juice
- 1 teaspoon grated orange zest
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cloves
- 0.25 teaspoon ground allspice
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup water
Instructions
Rinse the cranberries and set them aside. Peel, core, and dice the apple into small cubes.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the apple cider vinegar, water, orange juice, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Stir until the sugars dissolve.
Add the cranberries, diced apple, golden raisins, orange zest, and grated ginger to the saucepan. Stir to combine.
Sprinkle in the ground cinnamon, ground cloves, ground allspice, and salt. Mix well.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer the mixture for about 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally. The cranberries will burst, and the mixture will thicken as it cooks.
Once the chutney has reached a thick, jam-like consistency, remove it from heat and allow it to cool slightly.
Serve warm or let it cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Enjoy the chutney as a condiment for roasted meats, as a spread for sandwiches, or alongside cheese and crackers.
