I've always made cranberries like my mom and grandma did...exactly like the bag with just one cup of sugar and one cup of water plus about half a box of strawberry jello. Well last year I decided to try something different and we loved it. And I did it again this year and everyone loved it. Our guest said it was better than her grandma's recipe (always a good sign). Dan couldn't get enough of it. I got the recipe at allrecipes.com. While they say put it over some cream cheese and use it as a spread, we just use it as our salad and so tasty.
Holiday Cranberry Chutney
courtesy of allrecipes.com
- 1 (12 ounce) bag fresh or frozen cranberries
- 1 1/4 cups sugar
- 3/4 cup water
- 1 large cooking apple, chopped (I used a Fuji)
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- In a saucepan, combine all ingredients; bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce heat; simmer for 15-20 minutes or until apple is tender and mixture thickens. Cool completely.
- Store in the refrigerator. Serve over cream cheese with crackers or as a condiment with pork, ham or chicken.
This gets really thick if you make it the day before.
love it! :)
ReplyDeleteMy daughter is a cranberry sauce [relish?] FIEND - the recipe off the back of the bag kind - ho'hum. I always wanted to try something new - especially the recipes that call for orange zest, etc - but she refuses.
ReplyDeleteI think while she is away I will make it and try it. I bet it is great. I love allrecipes.com. I get the best recipes from there and the comments are such a big help.
