12 ounces fresh or frozen cranberries
04 -
2 large tart apples, peeled and finely chopped

1/2 cup golden raisins
07 -

1/8 teaspoon ground allspice

→ Finishing Touch
11 -
1/2 cup chopped toasted walnuts
12 -
Salt, to taste
# Steps:
01 -
Combine sugar and water in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar completely.
02 -
Add cranberries, chopped apples, and finely chopped onion. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens and the cranberries begin to pop, about 10 to 12 minutes.
03 -
Stir in golden raisins, cider vinegar, ground cinnamon, ground allspice, and ground cloves. Continue to cook on low heat, stirring frequently, until the chutney has reached the desired consistency, typically 5 to 10 minutes.
04 -
Remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in the toasted walnuts and season with salt to taste. Let chutney cool slightly.
05 -
Transfer the mixture to a serving dish or jar and refrigerate until ready to use.
# Notes:
01 -
Chutney thickens as it cools; for a thinner texture ideal for drizzling, reduce the cooking time slightly.
