Cranberry Chutney

Crimson red with a bright fruit flavor, this chutney is a great condiment for all curries.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    yields 2 cups

Ingredients

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 cups chopped onions
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon white or cider vinegar
1 tablespoon grated peeled ginger root
1 teaspoon grated lemon or orange peel
Pinch of cayenne
1 16-ounce can of whole-berry cranberry sauce

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    In a saucepan on medium-high heat, warm the oil and cook the onions, salt, and pepper, until the onions are translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the vinegar, ginger, citrus peel, and cayenne and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the cranberry sauce and stir well.

    Step 2

    Serve warm, at room temperature, or chilled. The chutney will keep in the refrigerator for at least a month.

  2. Serving ideas

    Step 3

    A dollop of Cranberry Chutney makes Curried Cauliflower & Chickpea Soup (page 120) absolutely delicious. Try a dollop on Baked Acorn Squash Crescents (page 198) or Roasted Sweet Potatoes (page 197), or next to Indian Potato Salad with Cilantro Omelet (page 106).
