Serve this Cranberry Apple Chutney alongside roast turkey or spread on your day after sandwich. Cranberry, apple, ginger, and orange all play so nicely together.

It is T-minus 5 days until Thanksgiving. I still have not finished planning my menu, but really, it doesn’t change very much. I am a traditionalist, what can I say?

When I am making my Thanksgiving dinner, I always start with the cranberry sauce. It is my official kick-off for my Thanksgiving cooking. It can be made a few days ahead of time and it just gets better and better. I usually make a few different kinds of cranberry sauce, and this one is a new favorite because it is just a little bit different. Cranberry and orange are a match made in heaven, but the ginger and balsamic add a little more flavor and I have to say, this one might make a yearly appearance.

Cranberry Apple Chutney Ingredients

  • 2 cups cranberries
  • 2 apples, peeled and chopped
  • 1/4 to 1/2 cup honey (depending how sweet you like it)
  • 2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • zest from one orange and juice
  • 1 Tablespoon balsamic vinegar
Diced apples, cranberries, and spices in a mixing bowl for baking.

How to Make – The Steps

Step 1: Put all of the ingredients in a saucepan.

Step 2: Cook over medium-low heat for about 15 to 20 minutes. The cranberries will pop and everything will get tender and the flavors will get to know each other.

    This is a fabulous recipe!! So easy, so tasty—has the nicest blend of ‘layers’ of flavors that ping on your taste buds! I made it the night before Thanksgiving, let it simmer covered 30 minutes (stirring occasionally), & ended up putting some on yogurt b/c it was so good!
