THE BEST CRANBERRY CHUTNEY



The Best Cranberry Chutney image

I know there's a thousand cranberry chutney recipe's out there, but this one is truly the best! Best if made a day in advance to really let the flavors meld. I never really measure the spices either, so I am guessing about 1/2 tsp. of each. Taste the cranberries after letting them set for awhile and re-season if necessary. Prep time does not include refrigeration time. Enjoy! UPDATE: When I posted the original recipe I forgot about the sugar you need in the water for the cranberries. Thank you to Chef Sydney Mike for pointing out my error!
