Cranberry Apple Chutney
This Cranberry Apple Chutney is a perfect blend of tart cranberries, sweet apples, orange, and cinnamon—ideal for Thanksgiving or any time of year. Easy to make ahead, it’s delicious and pairs beautifully with turkey, bagels, or even as a filling for baked goods.
Servings: 3 cups
Ingredients
- 1 lb cranberries
- 2 apples I like Granny Smith best, peeled and diced
- ½ teaspoon orange zest
- ½ cup orange juice
- 1 cinnamon stick or ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ cup brown sugar more or less to taste
Instructions
- Place all the ingredients in a medium saucepan. Mix to combine.
- Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook 8-10 minutes, covered, until the apples are softened and the cranberries are cooked through and the consistency is somewhat saucy. Most of the cranberries should have popped and the mixture will have thickened. Discard the cinnamon stick.
- Taste the chutney and add more sugar if you like. I like this chutney on the tart side, but you can add more sugar if you'd like.
