A New Twist on a Holiday Favorite: Cranberry Chutney

Almost every family has a holiday meal menu based on tradition and past holidays; we know what to expect, right? The classic dishes, the favorite sides. Homemade cranberry sauce is something I always look forward to, but this year I was looking for a new take on this side dish. And I definitely found it in Cranberry Chutney! With the addition of orange juice and spices, it has a much more complex flavor than my old standby. The sweet-and-savory taste of this dish blends perfectly with any holiday meal. It’s also fantastic on a turkey sandwich! Chutney is best served at room temperature, rather than chilled.

While preparing Cranberry Chutney takes a bit more time, the end result is more than worth it. The prep can be sped up quite a bit by using a food processor for chopping apples and onions. The rest is pretty simple. Once made, it can be stored in the refrigerator, frozen for up to 3 months, or canned for long-term storage.

I hope you enjoy this sweet and savory twist on a holiday favorite!
