"East meets West in this unique blend of cranberries with other fruits. Makes a nice change of pace from the traditional cranberry sauce at Thanksgiving. Great as a sandwich spread with cream cheese too :)"

  1. This recipe is so fabulous it made a cranberry lover out of me! I absolutely love the flavour twist on the traditional ingredients! I cut the sugar in half and omitted the raisins. The walnuts are a must.
     
  2. This was the best chutney I've ever had - and I don't even really care for it! I did add a teaspoon of orange zest and 1/2 of an orange (diced). YUM! Next Thanksgiving a double batch will do better.
     
  3. I've been making this recipe since last winter and realized I never posted my review, so here it is: Loved this! I prefer pecans, so I used them instead of the walnuts. I took it to an extended family party at Christmas and it was gone fast - people used it on sandwiches, with their turkey, we poured it over softened cream cheese and the kids scooped it up with crackers and celery, etc. It stores well, I even tried freezing it and it came out OK. I've made several batches of it; this is now our official recipe - no more cranberry sauce from a can! Thanks for sharing it!
     
  4. Turned out amazing. We made a few modifications that added a bit of holiday spice and rouded out the flavor<br/><br/>1 cup water<br/>1 cup sugar<br/>12 ounces cranberries, fresh (or frozen)<br/>1/4 cup apple cider vinegar<br/>lemon juice to taste (1/4 cup or less)<br/>1 cup craisins (dried cranberries)<br/>1/2 cup peeled diced apple<br/>1/4 teaspoon allspice<br/>1/4 teaspoon ground ginger<br/>1/2 teaspoon cinnamon<br/>3/8 teaspoon ground cloves<br/>1/4 cup peeled diced pear
     
  5. I adapted this just a bit, but this is fabulous! I can't wait to taste it after it sits and all the flavors meld. I used apple cider vinegar, cut the sugar by 1/4, added orange sections and orange zest and made a double batch. Great recipe!

Tweaks

  1. Love this recipe and have made it for many years. So popular I now make a quadruple batch and then seperate in to jam jars to give as gifts during the season. When full jars are boiled, chutney will keep for 18 months! (I suggest you research jarring techniques on the net before starting) . I now substitute the water for orange juice and add chopped pieces and zest of 2 oranges (in a quadrupled recipe).
