Description
A tangy and sweet chutney combining cranberries, apples, and warm curry spices for a bold and flavorful twist. Perfect for holiday dinners, cheese boards, or everyday meals.
Ingredients
- 12 ounces fresh cranberries
- 2 medium-sized apples, peeled, cored, and diced
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 small red onion, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon curry powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup water
- Optional: pinch of red chili flakes or handful of golden raisins
Instructions
- Wash the cranberries under cold water and set them aside to drain. Peel, core, and dice the apples into small cubes. Finely chop the red onion.
- In a medium-sized saucepan, combine cranberries, diced apples, chopped onion, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, water, curry powder, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, and salt.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar evenly.
- Lower the heat to a simmer and cook for about 20-25 minutes, stirring frequently. The cranberries will pop, the apples will soften, and the mixture will thicken into a jam-like consistency.
- Taste the chutney and adjust seasoning as needed. Add more sugar for sweetness or red chili flakes for spice.
- Let the chutney cool to room temperature before transferring it to glass jars for storage. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
[‘Use fresh cranberries for the best flavor and texture. Frozen cranberries can be used but may release more water.’, ‘Don’t rush the simmering process; slow cooking allows the flavors to meld and develop.’, ‘Taste and adjust the sweetness, tartness, or spice level to suit your preferences.’, ‘This chutney tastes even better after a day or two when the flavors deepen.’]
