A vibrant and flavorful chutney combining tart cranberries with warm spices, perfect for holiday meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 250g red onions, finely sliced
  • 1/4 tsp ground star anise
  • 1/4 tsp ground cloves
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 250g granulated sugar
  • 4 tbsp red wine or cranberry juice
  • 100ml red wine vinegar

Instructions

  1. Gather all your ingredients and ensure your red onions are finely sliced and cranberries rinsed if fresh.
  2. In a heavy-based pan, add the sliced onions, star anise, cloves, cinnamon, granulated sugar, red wine or cranberry juice, and red wine vinegar.
  3. Place the pan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
  4. Cook, stirring often, for about 30 minutes until onions soften and the mixture thickens.
  5. Once thickened, stir in the orange zest and juice, followed by the cranberries.
  6. Continue to simmer for another 20 minutes until cranberries pop and the mixture becomes sticky.
  7. Remove from heat and divide the hot chutney between four sterilized jars.
  8. Allow the jars to cool before labeling and store in a cool, dark place for two weeks before using.

Notes

This chutney is versatile and can be served with meats, cheeses, and sandwiches. It’s also a great gift idea when jarred and labeled.
