Cranberry chutney

Cranberry chutney is a versatile and flavorful condiment that pairs perfectly with a variety of dishes, from roasted meats to cheese platters. This easy-to-make chutney combines tart cranberries with a blend of aromatic spices and a hint of sweetness, creating a unique and delicious addition to your meal.

Ingredients:

3 cup cranberries
300g
2 tbsp onion
20g
1/2 tsp salt
3g
3 tbsp vinegar
44g
1/8 tsp red pepper (spice)
0.04g
1 tsp ginger root
2g
2/3 cup sugar
130g
1 tsp garlic
2.80g
1 tbsp vegetable oil
14g

Instructions:

1. Prepare Ingredients:
- Rinse the cranberries under cold water and drain well.
- Finely chop the onion and ginger root.
- Mince the garlic.
2. Cook Aromatics:
- In a medium saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat.
- Add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic to the pan.
- Sauté until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant, approximately 3-4 minutes.
3. Combine Ingredients:
- Add the cranberries to the saucepan with the sautéed onions and garlic.
- Stir in the finely grated ginger root, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/8 teaspoon of red pepper flakes.
- Pour in 3 tablespoons of vinegar and add 2/3 cup of sugar.
4. Cook the Chutney:
- Turn the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Once it starts to simmer, reduce the heat to low.
- Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries burst and the mixture thickens to a jam-like consistency, about 15-20 minutes.
5. Adjust Seasoning:
- Taste the chutney and adjust for seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or sugar to your preference.
6. Cool and Store:
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the chutney cool to room temperature.
- Once cooled, transfer the chutney to a clean, airtight jar or container.
7. Serve:
- Serve the cranberry chutney as a side with meats, in sandwiches, or use as a flavorful spread.
8. Storage:
- Store the chutney in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.

Tips:

- Make sure to use fresh cranberries for the best flavor and texture, but you can also use frozen cranberries if fresh ones are not available.

- Finely chop the onion, ginger root, and garlic to ensure they cook evenly and blend well with the cranberries.

- Cook the chutney on low to medium heat to prevent it from burning and to allow the flavors to meld together smoothly.

- Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning according to your preference. You can add more sugar if you prefer a sweeter chutney or more vinegar for added tanginess.

- Let the chutney cool completely before storing it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will thicken as it cools and the flavors will continue to develop over time.

- Serve the chutney at room temperature to enjoy its full flavor.

You've successfully made a delightful cranberry chutney that will surely impress your guests. Enjoy it as a condiment with your favorite dishes or as a spread for sandwiches and toast. The vibrant flavor and beautiful color make it a standout addition to any table.
