Easy to make. Absolutely delicious!! Keeping this recipe for ever!
This is an annual must-make for each Thanksgiving. What a wonderful amount of brightness and acid.
Great base recipe to make your own but maybe omit ACV all together or use a very very small amount. I just orange juice instead of water, cinnamon sticks and a few dashes of nutmeg (bcz I didn’t have all spice) & coconut sugar. Also zested a whole orange. I stupidly didn’t read the reviews before and added the ACV. Kind of saved it by adding more coconut sugar, some honey and OJ. Again, skip the ACV and raisins.
I MAKE IT EVERY YEAR; I DON’T ADD ALL OF THE SPICES. I JUST USE A 1/4 TSP OF CLOVES.
Made it at Thanksgiving and was not at all disappointed. Super easy, super tasty, will absolutely make it again.
I like this recipe a lot. I used two tablsp of red wine vinegar and golden raisins. very delicious!
I added a yellow onion and chopped jalapeno, along with Chinese 5 Spice and orange zest. Turned it into a mildly spicy cranberry chutney. It’s always a hit.
I didn’t have cranberries and didn’t want to go to the store so I used the canned whole berry stuff. I chopped up a Granny Smith apple, boiled it in a small amount of water until it was soft, then added the raisins, spices, a couple of Tbls of vinegar and cranberry sauce. No sugar needed, the cranberry sauce already has plenty. Without anything to compare against, I find it delicious. I wil try it with fresh cranberries next time tho, so I can control the sugar
I love cranberry chutney. It’s not winter without it. I cut the sugar in half and add fresh squeezed OJ instead of water. I also add in some orange zest. Superb!
I make this every year. Friends ask for it. I almost didn’t keep enough for my self this year!
easy to make very tasty.
It was just perfect and easy to make!!!!!
I doubled the recipe added 2 diced oranges for a little more zest and citrus but yes I will make it again
I love this recipe. The only change I made is that when I tasted it it seemed a bit too tart still so I added 2 additional tsp of sugar. Perfect. And it just tastes better with age. Yum. Thank you!!
I used 2 tab. cider vinegar, added 1/4 c. each of diced apple,celery and onion. came out tart, chunky texture, and a hit at my Thanksgiving table!
This is my favorite recipe
My family requests this every Thanksgiving. Excellent by itself or with turkey.
Everything in the ingredient list was good EXCEPT for the 1/2 cup of vinegar….YUCK!! It reminded me of doing vinegar shots for weight loss!! When I make this again I will only use 1 T of apple cider vinegar. Additionally I used an immersion blender briefly to create a smoother consistency.
I made it just as shown. I have made this for 5-6 years at Thanksgiving; I love this! So full of flavor and easy to make. Wonderful
I made this on a lark because my husband brought home a package of cranberries. We never eat cranberry sauces. Until this year, and from now on we’ll make this one. I left out the raisins because the mention of raisins makes my poor husband shake, and just used a bit more apple. EVERYONE loved it.
Yes I added tablespoon of Orange juice
