Equipment
- Medium sized saucepan with lid
Ingredients
- 2 cups cranberries fresh or frozen
- ½ cup dried cranberries
- 1 medium orange peeled, chopped, plus zest of ½ orange
- 1 medium red onion finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger peeled, grated
- 4 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1½ tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- ⅓ cup+1tbsp honey
- ⅓ teaspoon pumpkin spice mixed spice
- ⅓ teaspoon fine sea salt
Instructions
- Cook chutney: To the saucepan add all the ingredients apart from the fresh cranberries. Cover and bring the mixture to the boil then lower the heat and simmer for 15 minutes stirring occasionally.
- Add cranberries: Add the fresh cranberries, stir, cover and continue simmering for 10-15 more minutes or until the cranberries have stopped making ‘popping’ sounds and the mixture has thickened, stirring occasionally.
- Cool: Remove from the heat and set aside to cool completely. Once cooled adjust the flavour, if needed. Store in a jar and keep refrigerated for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
- Cranberries cook quickly which is why they are added into the chutney about halfway through. Try not to cook your chutney too long – once the cranberries have stopped making ‘popping’ sounds and the mixture has thickened you can remove it from the heat. It will thicken further as it cools.
- For best results cool your cranberry chutney completely and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving. It will not only thicken but the flavour will continue to develop as the sauce cools.
- Keep refrigerated in a jar for up to 2 weeks.
- Freeze in small containers for up to 3 months. Defrost overnight in the fridge.
