Cranberry Apple Chutney

What is chutney made out of?

A chutney is usually made from a mixture of fruit, spices, sugar, vinegar, a bit of spice and cooked down. The reduction will intensify the flavors, thicken the mixture and the sugar will balance out the tartness. Chutney is great served along side a cheese and charcuterie board, accompany roasted meats or compliment cheeses.

What is the difference between a chutney and relish?

Traditionally, a relish is made with grated or cut up vegetables or fruit, whereas chutney is traditionally made with fruit as the main ingredient. Chutney is a spicy, aromatic condiment that contains fruit, sugar, vinegar and a variety of spices depending on the recipe.

• 1 granny smith apple, peeled, cored, fine dice
• ¼ cup cider vinegar
• zest and juice of 1 orange
• ½ cup light brown sugar, packed

Cranberry Apple Chutney Directions:

1. Heat the oil over medium heat in a medium saute pan. Add the minced onion, grated ginger, diced apple and saute until golden.
2. Add the remaining ingredients to the saucepan and cook until the cranberries pop, about 10 mins. Remove from the heat and cool.

Notes:

I don’t let all the cranberries completely cook down. I allow some of them to stay plump giving the chutney more texture.
