Cranberries make a lively and pretty chutney, perfect as a tart and sweet accompaniment to curries, roasts (especially pork or poultry) or savoury pies, such as Venison Tourtière. The optional fenugreek gives the chutney a pleasant hint of bitterness.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups  (500 mL)  fresh cranberries or frozen cranberries
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 1 apple, peeled and shredded
  • 1/2 cup  (125 mL)  packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup  (60 mL)  cider vinegar
  • 2 tsp  (10 mL)  finely grated gingerroot or 1/2 tsp/2 mL ground ginger
  • 1/4 tsp  (1 mL)  each ground cinnamon, ground cloves, nutmeg, black pepper, cayenne pepper and salt
  • 1/4 tsp  (1 mL)  fenugreek seeds (optional)

Preparation

In saucepan, combine cranberries, onion, apple, sugar, vinegar, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, black and cayenne peppers, salt and fenugreek (if using), and ½ cup/125 mL water. Stir and bring to boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer on low, stirring occasionally, until thickened to jam-like consistency, about 45 minutes.

Makes about 2-1/2 cups (625 mL).
