Ingredients
- 12 ounces fresh cranberries
- 0.5 cups orange juice
- 1 tablespoon orange zest
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 0.25 cups brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons ground ginger
- 0.25 teaspoons ground cloves
- 0.5 cups raisins
- 0.25 cups chopped walnuts (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the fresh cranberries thoroughly under cold water and set aside.
Step 2
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the orange juice and granulated sugar. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has fully dissolved.
Step 3
Add the cranberries to the saucepan, and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries begin to pop.
Step 4
Stir in the brown sugar, orange zest, apple cider vinegar, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, and ground cloves. Mix well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
Step 5
Lower the heat to a simmer and let the mixture cook for another 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.
Step 6
Add the raisins and chopped walnuts (if using) to the chutney. Stir well and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Step 7
Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the chutney to cool to room temperature. The mixture will thicken as it cools.
Step 8
Transfer the chutney to a serving bowl or airtight container. Serve immediately, or refrigerate for up to one week for later use. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
