Since it’s soon-to-be-famous (who knew?!), I thought I should post the recipe in case others wanted to taste the yummy goodness. I will admit that we found this particular recipe in a health magazine a couple years ago, so the Mrs. and I can’t take credit. It’s good – and healthy (kinda) – and darned easy to make. If you can boil water then you can make this chutney.
Soon-to-be-famous Cranberry Chutney
2 c Whole cranberries
1 1/3 c Sugar (not so healthy, but needed else the cran will tart you to death. Turkey can’t save you!)
1 c Dried chopped figs (if unable to find dried figs, we’ve used dried cherries instead. Works well.)
5 tbsp Apple cider vinegar
1 tbsp Water
1/2 c Dried cherries
2 tbsp Chopped red onion
1 tbsp White rum (we never seem to have enough when Thanksgiving comes around – blame the Mrs. – and no one has complained when we leave it out. Apple juice can be substituted.)
1/2 tsp Curry powder
1/2 tsp Ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp Fresh grated ginger root
Directions
- Bring all ingredients to a boil.
- Reduce heat to medium and cook 18 minutes or until thickened.
- Let cool before serving.
Can also be used as garnish on cream cheese dolloped crackers or as condiment on leftover turkey sandwiches.
