Cranberry Chutney

Teresa Shaw | Contributor

Thanksgiving will be here before you know it ... time to get your game plan in order for the big day!

This week I'm thinking about cranberries - those little balls of vitamin-packed goodness that are only in season from October through December. This year, I decided to try something new; instead of opening a can of cranberry sauce for the Thanksgiving table, I will be serving this cranberry chutney recipe. It's a little more substantial than a cranberry sauce, and the sweet-and-tart flavor makes it so versatile - spread it on your T-day turkey (or leftovers sandwiches), or try it on roasted pork, ice cream, pancakes, or waffles.

Lovely recipe, Teresa. I'm thinking about trying this also - I was reading about these recipes recently, and thought they would really appeal to my husband, who loves chutneys.

This is a great recipe! Good cranberry chutney condiments cost a fortune and this can be made for under $5.00! Thanks! Peggy
