Main ingredient:

What you'll need:

• 1 lb. fresh cranberries

4. Let the chutney cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate.
5. Let stand at room temperature for about 1 hour before serving. Remove and discard the cinnamon stick.
6. Transfer the chutney to a sauceboat or serving bowl and serve.
