A tangy and sweet Cranberry Apple Chutney combining tart cranberries, diced apples, golden raisins, and warm spices. Perfect as a condiment alongside holiday dishes, roasted meats, or as a flavorful spread.

Ingredients

Scale

Liquid & Sweeteners

  • 3/4 Cup water
  • 1/2 Cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 Cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/4 Cup apple cider vinegar

Fruits & Vegetables

  • 12 ounces cranberries
  • 1 small shallot, finely chopped
  • 2 tart apples, diced
  • 1/2 Cup golden raisins

Spices

  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Boil Sugar Mixture: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, bring the water and granulated sugar to a boil, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar completely.
  2. Add Cranberries and Aromatics: Once boiling, add the cranberries, finely chopped shallot, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and apple cider vinegar to the saucepan. Stir to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
  3. Cook Cranberries: Continue cooking over medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, allowing the cranberries to begin popping and releasing their juices, which thickens the mixture.
  4. Incorporate Apples and Raisins: Add the diced tart apples and golden raisins to the saucepan. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring frequently, until the chutney thickens to your desired consistency.
  5. Serve or Store: The chutney can be served warm immediately or chilled in the refrigerator. It pairs wonderfully as a condiment with roasted meats or as a spread for sandwiches.

Notes

  • Use tart apples like Granny Smith for the best balance of acidity and sweetness.
  • Store chutney in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
  • The chutney can be made ahead of time to allow flavors to meld even better.
  • Adjust sugar quantities to your preferred level of sweetness or tartness.
  • Serve chilled or at room temperature depending on your preference.
