The unique flavor of this chutney complements turkey, pork and duck. At holiday time, I make a big batch so I have some to serve, some to share and some to freeze. To make a quick appetizer, blend up 1-1/2 cups, pour over cream cheese and serve with crackers. -Kathy Garnes Laurel, Maryland

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, firm cranberries: Avoid cranberries that are soft or have bruises. Ripe cranberries will be a deep red color and have a slightly tart flavor.
  • Use fresh tomatoes: Fresh tomatoes will give your chutney the best flavor. If you can't find fresh tomatoes, you can use canned tomatoes, but be sure to drain them well before using.
  • Add some heat: If you like spicy chutney, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes. You can also add a serrano pepper or jalapeño pepper for a more intense heat.
  • Experiment with different spices: Feel free to add other spices to your chutney, such as cumin, coriander, or ginger. You can also add a bit of cinnamon or nutmeg for a warm, autumnal flavor.
  • Let the chutney simmer: Simmering the chutney for at least 30 minutes will help the flavors to meld and develop. Don't boil the chutney, as this will make it too thick.

Conclusion:

Cranberry tomato chutney is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be enjoyed in many different ways. It's perfect for serving with roasted meats, grilled fish, or curries. It can also be used as a spread for sandwiches or crackers. No matter how you choose to enjoy it, cranberry tomato chutney is sure to be a hit!
