Cranberry Chutney - (Traditional Holiday Cranberry Sauce)

A refreshing version of the traditional cranberry sauce, this chutney has sweet, spiced flavors brightened with fresh mint.




Main ingredient:

















What you'll need:

  • 1 lb. fresh cranberries
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
  • 2 cups fresh orange juice
  • 1 cup apple cider
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 6 fresh mint leaves
Instructions:

  1. Sort the cranberries, discarding any soft ones.
  2. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the cranberries, granulated sugar, brown sugar, orange juice, cider, cinnamon and mint and stir to mix. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally, then reduce the heat to medium-low. 
  3. Simmer until the juices have reduced and are thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 1 hour.
  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.
