Ingredients
- 12 ounces fresh cranberries
- 4 shallots, thinly sliced
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup apple cider vinegar
- 0.25 cup orange juice, freshly squeezed
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.25 cup water
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
Directions
Step 1
Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
Step 2
Add the thinly sliced shallots and cook until they are softened and caramelized, about 5-7 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
Step 3
Stir in the ground cinnamon, ground ginger, salt, and black pepper, and cook for an additional 1 minute to toast the spices.
Step 4
Add the fresh cranberries, granulated sugar, apple cider vinegar, orange juice, and water to the saucepan. Stir well to combine.
Step 5
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer uncovered for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries have burst and the chutney has thickened.
Step 6
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the orange zest.
Step 7
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more sugar for sweetness or more vinegar for tangy flavor.
Step 8
Let the chutney cool to room temperature before serving. It will thicken further as it cools.
Step 9
Serve as a condiment with roasted meats, cheeses, or as a sandwich spread. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
