CHERRY-CRANBERRY CHUTNEY



Cherry-Cranberry Chutney image

This replaced the canned sauce at Christmas the first year I made it! I got a photocopy of the recipe about 20 years ago from a coworker. (Still have that photocopy!) I've now introduced it to my future in-laws, who love it, too. The color is a deep ruby red, complementing the other holiday dishes nicely. Note: I've done the orange all kinds of ways, and leaving it whole works best in terms of texture. Another option is to use a blend of orange peel and orange extract to suit your tastes. Bon appetit!
