Cranberry Chutney

I had never tasted cranberries until two days ago. While I wonder how I could have missed it, I am happy that I atleast tried now. OK, I was not all adventurous to go buy some personally. This came as a part of our weekly produce from Farm Fresh to You. I tasted one, it was tart and I love tart. Here is the recipe of the chutney I made. We had it with Cumin Rice and even over bread.
Fresh Cranberries – 2.5 cups
Apple – 1 ( chopped into bite sized pieces)
Ginger – 1 T (finely MInced)
Green Chillies – 4 (finely chopped)
Water – 1/2 cup
Lemon Zest – 1/8th tsp
Lemon Juice- 1 T
Brown Sugar – 2/3 cup+ 2 tsp sugar ( I did this coz I needed it more sweeter)
Garam Masala – 1 tsp
Red Chilli powder – 1 tsp
Turmeric Cpower – 1 tsp
Salt to taste
This is the easy party, add all the ingredients to a pan and let it cook on medium high for about 10 minutes. It is fun to watch the cranberries pop. The chutney begins to thicken. You will know when it done, I promise! The house will be filled with the aroma of this chutney.
Happy Thanksgiving !!!!
I have never done with theindian kick, just the balnd ones. I think i will do this time something elso for christmas gift.
i have a box of it my fridge and when i tasted it a couple of weeks ago it was like kalaakkaa…. i was thinking abt making pickle (south indian style).
Shankari, i have been an ardent fan of your blog for a long time, but this is the first time commenting. Try making pickle (oorugai) out of cranberries. It is yummy. You sautee the cranberries, add salt, chili powder and thadka with mustard seeds and add venthayam powder in the end. very similar to making Homemade mango picle.
