Cranberry Chutney

Submitted by graffeetee

"When you have people skipping the turkey seconds and going back for the chutney by itself, you know you have a winner. I find regular cranberry sauce much too sweet, but this is a nice balance of sweet and savory, and not overly tart or spicy.The original was from an old Gourmet magazine, but I have made substantial modifications. This recipe makes a lot, but it keeps well in the fridge or may be canned using the water bath method."

Great recipe, it has become our family favorite. We did make a modification because we have too many apple trees... we used 10 apples and love the change.

I did cut this recipe in half & in doing so made a few small adjustments on the ingredient amounts, but followed the recipe, nonetheless, & this made for a wonderful chutney! Really liked the combo of fruits here & will be happy to make it again! Thanks for sharing the recipe! [Made & reviewed in India ~ More than just Curries Tag Game]
