Ingredients
- 340 grams fresh cranberries
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 60 milliliters apple cider vinegar
- 60 milliliters orange juice
- 60 milliliters water
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cloves
- 50 grams raisins
- 30 grams chopped pecans (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the cranberries thoroughly under cold water and set aside.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, apple cider vinegar, orange juice, and water. Heat over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the sugar dissolves completely.
Step 3
Add the cranberries to the saucepan along with the grated ginger, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, raisins, and salt.
Step 4
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat. As the cranberries begin to pop (about 5 minutes), reduce the heat to low and simmer.
Step 5
Simmer the mixture for an additional 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries are softened, the mixture thickens slightly, and the flavors meld together.
Step 6
Optional: Stir in the chopped pecans during the last 2-3 minutes of cooking for added crunch and flavor.
Step 7
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the chutney cool to room temperature. The chutney will thicken further as it cools.
Step 8
Transfer the cranberry chutney to a serving bowl or airtight container and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
Step 9
Serve chilled or at room temperature as a side dish, sandwich spread, or topping for meats and cheeses. Enjoy!
