Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium (peeled, cored, and diced) Apples
- 2 medium (peeled, cored, and diced) Pears
- 1 cup Fresh cranberries
- 1 small (finely chopped) Onion
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 0.5 cup Apple cider vinegar
- 0.25 cup Orange juice
- 1 tablespoon (grated) Fresh ginger
- 1 whole Cinnamon stick
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cloves
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Raisins
- 0.25 cup Water
Instructions
Prepare the apples and pears by peeling, coring, and dicing them into small pieces. Set aside.
In a large saucepan or Dutch oven, combine the diced apples, diced pears, cranberries, and chopped onion.
Add the brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, orange juice, grated ginger, cinnamon stick, ground cloves, salt, raisins, and water to the pot.
Stir all the ingredients to mix them well and place the pot over medium heat.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low to let it simmer.
Cook uncovered for 40-45 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until the fruits have softened and the chutney has thickened.
Remove the cinnamon stick from the pot once the chutney is ready.
Allow the chutney to cool slightly before transferring it to sterilized jars with airtight lids.
Store the chutney in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, or process it in a water bath for longer shelf life.
Serve the Winter Chutney alongside roasted poultry, glazed ham, or as a condiment on a charcuterie board.
