Ingredients

• 12 oz fresh cranberries
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup water
• 0.25 cup apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon ground cloves
• 0.25 teaspoon ground allspice
• 0.25 teaspoon red chili flakes
• 1 teaspoon orange zest
• 1 medium diced apple (peeled and cored)
• 0.25 cup raisins
• 0.25 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

Wash the cranberries thoroughly and set them aside.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar and water. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely to form a simple syrup.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the apple cider vinegar, grated ginger, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, ground allspice, and red chili flakes. Allow the mixture to simmer for 2-3 minutes to blend the flavors.

Step 4

Add the fresh cranberries, diced apple, raisins, and orange zest to the saucepan. Stir well to coat the fruit with the spiced syrup.

Step 5

Increase the heat to medium and cook the mixture, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries start to pop (about 8-10 minutes).

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low again and let the chutney simmer for an additional 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally. The mixture should thicken slightly as it cooks.

Step 7

Taste the chutney and add a pinch of salt to balance the flavors. Adjust spice levels if desired by adding more chili flakes.

Step 8

Remove the saucepan from heat and let the chutney cool to room temperature. It will continue to thicken as it cools.

Step 9

Transfer the chutney to a clean jar or airtight container and refrigerate for at least an hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 10

Serve chilled or at room temperature as a condiment for meats, cheeses, or holiday dishes. Enjoy!
