Apple and cranberry chutney

Babiche Martens

I love finding a jar of jam or chutney with my name on it under the Christmas tree. This apple and cranberry chutney can be enjoyed with your turkey or ham, added into sandwiches made from leftovers on Boxing Day or served with your favourite blue cheese. It’s also an easy recipe, so if you don’t usually make chutney, give it a go. You’ll find cranberries in the frozen department of the supermarket or fruit store.

Ingredients

800 g	Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and diced (Main)
2 large	Onions, chopped
25 g	Grated ginger
½ tsp	Freshly ground black pepper
400 g	Sugar
150 ml	Cider vinegar
350 g	Cranberries, frozen (Main)

Directions

1. Into a large pot place the apples, onion, ginger, pepper, sugar and cider vinegar. Bring to a simmer, stirring until the sugar has dissolved. Continue to simmer for 40 minutes, then add the cranberries and cook for a further 20 minutes.
2. While hot, spoon into sterilised jars. Store until ready to eat.
