Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Apple (peeled, cored, and chopped)
- 2 medium Pear (peeled, cored, and chopped)
- 1 cup Dried cranberries
- 1 small Onion (finely chopped)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger (grated)
- 1 cup Brown sugar
- 0.75 cup Apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 cup Orange juice
- 1 unit Cinnamon stick
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground allspice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Prepare the fruits by peeling, coring, and chopping the apples and pears into small, bite-sized pieces.
In a large saucepan or pot, combine the apples, pears, dried cranberries, and chopped onion.
Add the grated ginger, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, and orange juice to the saucepan, stirring gently to combine.
Place the cinnamon stick, ground allspice, salt, and black pepper into the mixture. Stir well.
Turn the heat to medium and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.
Reduce the heat to low and let the chutney cook for about 40 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
Once the chutney has thickened and the fruits have softened, remove it from the heat.
Allow the chutney to cool slightly, then remove the cinnamon stick.
Transfer to sterilized jars for storage or serve immediately with your favorite dishes.
