Say happy holidays with this festive Cranberry Orange Chutney! Make a batch of holiday homemade chutney to give as Christmas gifts, or save this small-batch chutney for yourself so you can enjoy cranberries all year-round.
Cranberry Orange Chutney is a lovely fresh flavourful preserve. It is easy to make with fresh or frozen cranberries and makes an ideal gift.
Christmas is coming, well no, it is all around us. There are adverts on TV, movies full of goodwill, kids and snow, Santa grotto is every where and panic stricken faces as people shop like mad and rush hither and thither trying to get everything done.
I feel the most Christmassy when I am busy in the kitchen making foodie gifts to give to family and friends.
Since cranberries have a lot of natural pectin, there is no pectin required for this recipe...see? Easy!!
This chutney is not overly sweet. It is delicious served on scones or English muffins, over cream cheese on crackers, basted on grilled or roasted poultry or as an accompaniment to turkey, ham or pork.
Ingredients:
- 800g fresh/frozen cranberries
- 2-3 cups of sugar, depending on how sweet you want it
- 1 cup orange juice

Place all ingredients in a large preserve pan. Bring to boil. reduce heat and simmer uncovered 30-35 minutes, stirring often, until the liquid is absorbed. Mash any whole fruit remaining, if desired.
Ladle into the prepared jar. Leave the chutney to cool completely before use,
