Cranberry Chutney

I’ve been sharing lots of great holiday recipes the past few weeks hoping to make your holidays a little bit easier. Today I’ve got another slow cooker recipe that is the perfect addition to your holiday meal.

Cranberries are a quintessential part of any holiday feast. That bright red color and refreshing tart flavor is a welcome addition to any table. Many of you are familiar with my Best Ever Cranberry Sauce but another one of my holiday cranberry favorites is this easy cranberry chutney.

I love how the cranberries are able to cut through the heaviness of the rest of the meal. Turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy – we all need a little something tart and refreshing and this cranberry chutney certainly does the trick.

What Goes In A Cranberry Chutney?

This chutney is bursting with fresh flavors and spices. Cranberries, apples, and pears make up the bulk of this recipe and it is beautifully spiced with cinnamon and cloves.

The aroma that fills your house as this chutney simmers away in your slow cooker is nothing short of phenomenal. My brother came over the day I was making this and was like, “Wow! What smells so good?” Chutney. In the slow cooker. This needs to happen in your home this holiday season!

    This turned out really well and is going to be great for Thursday. Only variances I made were to add the zest from the orange I juiced, reduce the sugar to 1 cup, and um… throw in a 1/4 cup of bourbon. (I couldn’t resist – somebody told me about using bourbon in cranberry sauce yesterday, and I had to try it. The booziness cooks out entirely.) My crockpot seems to run hot, so the sauce was pretty much done after 3 hours. Good recipe – thanks!

    These cranberries sound amazing with all the fruit, spices, and a little bit of savory! And I love that they can be made in a slow cooker! Pinned. 🙂

    Sounds like we both have brothers who come over foraging for food! I’m sure it smelled amazing. You’re right. It’s a great break from all the heavier dishes at the table. Delicious!

    The Apple Cranberry Chutney looks amazing! Wonder if I could can it and give it as Christmas gifts? Have you ever tried that? Not sure if it would keep very well. What are your thoughts?
