Ingredients
- 1 cup cider vinegar (preferably unfiltered, such as Bragg Organic, organicdirect.com)
- 1 cup packed light-brown sugar
- 1 red onion, finely chopped
- 3/4 cup mixed dried fruit, such as currants, golden raisins, and chopped prunes
- 1 tablespoon minced peeled fresh ginger (from one 1 1/2-inch piece)
- 10 whole cloves, crushed with the side of a knife (1/2 teaspoon)
- 2 whole cinnamon sticks
- 12 ounces fresh or thawed frozen cranberries (3 1/2 cups)
Directions
-
Bring vinegar, sugar, onion, dried fruit, ginger, cloves, and cinnamon sticks to a simmer
in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring until sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes. Add cranberries. Reduce heat to medium, and simmer gently until cranberries are tender and start to burst, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a bowl, and let stand until cooled. Refrigerate until chilled if desired.
Cook's Note
Storage: Chutney can be refrigerated for up to 1 month.
This recipe was God-awful!! Definitely dilute the vinegar or toss it out and use orange juice. Yuck!! I made the cranberry pear recipe from the Martha Stewart site last year. I've never had a bad experience with any of her recipes until now.
I just made this, I did do a couple changes: I used 1/2 cup of cider vinegar and 1/2 cup apple cider and I had ground cloves so I used a little less than 1/2 tsp of that (instead of the cloves ground into 1/2 tsp). It is tangy and spiced! smells so good and tastes good too.
I would consider halfing the vinegar. Final product was overwhelmingly vinegary!
I sent an email asking about the apples, and was told it was in reference to the cider. Kind of disappointing.
I went ahead and made this recipe as is and it was very good. A nice tangy accompaniment to turkey. Doesn't taste very sweet even with the 1 cup of brown sugar.
I was wondering the same thing. Guess it's just the apple cider vinegar?
Where is the apple in this Cranberry-Apple Chutney?
