Ingredients
Scale
Fruits
- 3 apples, peeled and chopped
- 1 cup fresh cranberries
Spices & Sweeteners
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
Liquids
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Peel and chop the apples into small pieces. Measure out fresh cranberries, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, ground cinnamon, and ground ginger.
- Combine and Cook: Place all ingredients in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir to mix thoroughly.
- Simmer: Cook the mixture, stirring occasionally, until the apples become soft and cranberries begin to burst, which should take about 15 to 20 minutes. This process will thicken the chutney and blend the flavors.
- Serve or Store: Serve the chutney warm alongside roasted turkey, or let it cool and store it in a jar in the refrigerator for later use.
Notes
- Use tart apples like Granny Smith for a balanced sweet and sour flavor.
- This chutney can be refrigerated for up to two weeks.
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of ground cloves or chili flakes.
- Ensure to stir occasionally while cooking to prevent sticking or burning.
