I haven't tried this,but the recipe is a doddle & it looks really pretty in the jars.

Would make a good Christmas hamper pressie

 

Apple and Cranberry Chutney

 

1kg cooking apples, peeled & cut into small chumks

500g eating apples,peeled & cut into large chunks

450g onions,chopped

50g fresh root ginger,peeled & finely chopped

1tsp peppercorns

500g Granulated sugar

250ml Cider vinegar

500g fresh cranberries

 

Put all the ingredients except the cranberries into a heavy based pan, & heat slowly to dissolve the sugar.

Bring to the boil & simmer uncovered for 50 mins,stirring regulrlg until the onion & apple is soft & the mixture has thickened

 

Add the cranberries & cook for 10 mins more until they are just soft but not burst.

 

Spoon into hot sterilised jars (makes 4 x 500g) & store in a cool dark place. Will keep for 6 months.

 

As soon as mine is bottled up I will take a piccy for you to see, but if it looks at all like the photo I have here,it will look woderfullt Christmassy!

 

 

I got fresh Cranberries in Tesco today (Waitrose said it was too early ) & they come in 300g bags,so I have 100g spare,if anyone has any ideas what I can do with them?

Oooh spooky - look at my post in the "what I have cooked today" thingy

 

Made mine today - really easy, and very nice, used frozen cranberries and missed out the peppercorns - oops, still good though.

I asked in Waitrose this week for fresh cranberries and they looked at me like I was mad

When you can access them they freeze really well too so will keep for ages.

Would it be horrendous if I used some dried cranberries I have in the cupboard? ( DS had them in his tuck box but hasn't eaten them!! ) Maybe I could soak them in some apple juice/cider vinegar to rehydrate them a little & reduce the sugar a little to compensate for their sweetness?

 

May have a go later as I have some cookers & eaters which need to be used up! (If they don't turn into apple & cranberry crumble for tea that is!!! )

Not so sure if you used ALL dried Cranberries - to be honest I used 400g frozen and 100g dried. Is better with the plumpness of whole cranberries though - don't think the freezing makes any difference, and the finished product does look as pretty as anticipated Cinnamon.

[Cinnamon]

I certainly looks very pretty - all those whole cranberries in it

How funny that we both made it on the same day!

 

Dried cranberries have been sweetened Wild Mum,so I wouldn't use them.

they are great for the spiced cranberry vodka recipe I posted before though!

Piccie please Cinammon!

Oooops, I feel another boozy shopping trip coming on then - DH must think I've taken leave of my senses, the number of bottles of gin & vodka I've purchased following recommendations on here!

mmmmm made it today.

 

Looks amazing

 

And the taste I snuck was mmmmmm........

[Chook n Boo Mum]

Got the fresh cranberries yesterday & made the chutney today....mmmmm!

 

(Also made 2 litres of cranberry vodka with all the dried ones I had left over! More mmmmm!!)

 

Left out the ginger, but in my humble opinion I think it's still delicious!

 

Thank you Cinnamon, your recipes are great, keep 'em coming!

I made this as well, but slightly adapted the recipe by adding more sweet spices (cinnamon, mixed spice), some grated orange rind and juice. It is yummy!

[Guest]

Oh I threw in a couple of handfulls of currants too wish I'd thought to put in some orange peel though, this one really is a christmas chutney!
