Cranberry and Orange Chutney

My sister-in-law made this delicious chutney years ago as Christmas gifts for the family.  If memory serves me well,  I believe she also made beer bread to go along with the chutney.  We all loved it and I have been making it every year since.  This cranberry and orange concoction is delicious served with your Thanksgiving Day meal and  then spread on your left over turkey sandwiches. I think it screams holiday! Here is the recipe.  Enjoy!!
  • 3 small oranges, seeded, coarsely chopped, peel and all
  • 4 cups cranberries
  • 1 cup chopped tart apple, not peeled
  • 1/2 cup raisins
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1/2 cup orange juice or apple cider
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1 tbsp. cider vinegar
  • 3/4 tsp. ground ginger
  • 3/4 tsp. cinnamon
  • 3/4 tsp. ground clove
  • 1/2 cup bourbon (optional) I always use it 
Mix all the above ingredients in a heavy pan, simmer until cranberries pop.  About 20 minutes.   The mixture should look like jam.

  8. Thanks for all your kind comments. The answer to Granny's question is under two quarts. I'm sure you would get at least six half pint jars.
