Cranberry Chutney
For the LOVE of Cranberries!!
There is no seasonal fruit I love and get excited about more than Cranberries. This tangy, bite size fruit can be enjoyed in a variety of ways such as a trail mix snack, topping for oatmeal and cereals or savory dishes such as grilled fish.
In addition to its great flavor, Cranberry is a fruit high in Vitamin C, Potassium and B-Vitamins with "BIG" health benefits like managing UTI's, lowering blood pressure and fighting free radicals that may cause cancer growth.
What is chutney made out of?
A chutney is usually made from a mixture of fruit, spices, sugar, vinegar, a bit of spice and cooked down. The reduction will intensify the flavors, thicken the mixture and the sugar will balance out the tartness. Chutney is great served along side a cheese and charcuterie board, accompany roasted meats or compliment cheeses.

Recipe Notes
"If you do not have Red wine vinegar available, white vinegar is a great substitution. Both have similar acidity levels to aid in the cooking process of breaking down the cranberries and apples. Red wine vinegar just has a slight sweetness in taste."
