Apple Cranberry Chutney (for cheese platters)

This Apple Cranberry Chutney is a sweet and tangy condiment perfect for elevating your next cheese platter. It brings bright fruit flavors that pair wonderfully with creamy and sharp cheeses.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large apples, peeled, cored, and diced
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries
  • 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 small red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Combine all ingredients in a medium saucepan.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
  3. Reduce the heat to low and simmer uncovered for 30 to 40 minutes.
  4. Stir frequently as the chutney thickens. The apples and cranberries should break down slightly.
  5. The chutney is ready when it coats the back of a spoon.
  6. Remove from heat and let it cool completely. The chutney will thicken further as it cools.
  7. Transfer the cooled chutney to an airtight container.

Notes

  • This chutney tastes even better after resting for a day or two in the refrigerator.
  • For a smoother texture, you can mash some of the fruit slightly during the last 10 minutes of cooking.
  • This recipe pairs well with cheddar, brie, and goat cheese.
