Stovetop Apple Cranberry Chutney

  • Stir well to combine the ingredients.
  • Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a boil.
  • Reduce the heat to low and simmer the chutney uncovered for about 20-25 minutes, or until it has thickened, and the cranberries and apples are soft. Stir occasionally.
  • Taste the chutney and adjust the sweetness or tartness according to your preference by adding more sugar or vinegar if needed.
  • Once the chutney has reached your desired consistency, remove it from the heat and let it cool.
  • If using nuts, stir them into the chutney after cooking.
  • Transfer the chutney to sterilized jars if you plan to store it for a longer period.
  • This apple cranberry chutney is versatile and can be served as a condiment with parathas, as a spread for sandwiches, roast turkey or chicken, on a cheese platter, or even as a topping for grilled meats. Enjoy!

Instant Pot Apple Cranberry Chutney

  • Stir the ingredients well to ensure they are evenly mixed.
  • Close the Instant Pot lid and set the valve to the sealing position.
