Description
This easy homemade Cranberry Chutney is the perfect sweet-tart condiment for your holiday table. Packed with fresh cranberries, apples, warm spices, and citrus, it’s a flavorful addition to roasted meats, sandwiches, or cheese boards.
Ingredients
- 12 ounces cranberries (fresh or frozen)
- 1 large apple (such as Granny Smith), peeled, cored, and finely diced
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 orange, zested and juiced
Instructions
1. In a medium saucepan, combine cranberries, diced apple, sugar, water, apple cider vinegar, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves.
2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to a simmer.
3. Add the zest and juice of one orange to the saucepan and stir well.
4. Continue to simmer the mixture, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries burst and the chutney thickens, about 20-25 minutes.
5. Remove from heat and let the chutney cool before transferring it to a serving dish or storage container.
Notes
This chutney can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to one week.
Use fresh or frozen cranberries depending on what’s available.
Serve alongside turkey, pork, or spooned over cream cheese with crackers.
Adjust the sugar to taste depending on how tart your cranberries and apple are.
Great for gifting in jars during the holiday season.
