    📝 Frequently asked questions, answers and tips:

    What is chutney made out of?

    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 alongside 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.

    👩‍🍳 Chef Tip

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

      I love this take on a cranberry side dish. I always make my cranberry orange jam but it's nice to have a more savory and chunky version to put out. Also this would be awesome on sandwiches!
