Every year at Diwali, the Hindu New Year, my father was given boxes of dried fruit as gifts. One Thanksgiving, I was reminded of that tradition when I was given some organic dates and decided to make this chutney instead of cranberry sauce for our holiday table.

Categories     side-dish

Yield 6 cups

Number Of Ingredients 18

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cinnamon stick
3 star anise
2 cloves
1/2 teaspoon brown mustard seeds
1/4 dried pasilla de Oaxaca chile
2 cups orange juice
2 cups apple cider
1 cup dried sour cherries
2 cups sliced dates
1 teaspoon packed grated orange zest
1/4 cup julienne strips peeled ginger
2 cups quartered dried apricots
2 cups fresh cranberries
1 1/2 tablespoons fennel, preferably Lucknow
1 teaspoon yellow mustard seeds
1/4 cup cider vinegar
Kosher salt

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a heavy 6-quart pot over moderately high heat until it shimmers and cook the cinnamon, star anise, and cloves for 1 minute. Add the brown mustard seeds and chile. When the seeds pop and are fragrant, after about 30 seconds, remove the pan from the heat and carefully add the orange juice and apple cider. Bring the mixture to a boil and add the cherries, dates, zest, ginger, apricots, cranberries, fennel, yellow mustard seeds, and vinegar. Briskly simmer the mixture, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the liquid is reduced and the fruits are softened and tender, about 1 1/2 hours. Stir in salt to taste. Let the chutney cool completely before serving. The chutney keeps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 1 week.

Yield Makes 2 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups fresh cranberries
16 dried apricot halves
1/2 cup dried blueberries
1/3 cup (packed) golden brown sugar
1/4 cup chopped crystallized ginger
1/4 cup frozen concentrated cranberry juice cocktail, thawed
1/4 cup water
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar

Steps:

Tips:

  • Select dried fruits that are plump and have a vibrant color. Avoid any that appear dull or shriveled.
  • If using a food processor to chop the dried fruits, pulse them in short bursts to avoid over-processing and creating a paste.
  • For a sweeter chutney, add more brown sugar or honey to taste.
  • To adjust the spiciness, add more or less chili powder as desired.
  • For a chutney with a more complex flavor, add some grated fresh ginger or a pinch of ground cloves.
  • Store the chutney in a clean, airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Spiced dried fruit chutney is a versatile condiment that can be enjoyed in many different ways. It is a great addition to cheese plates, sandwiches, wraps, and curries.
