Video: Making Cranberry Chutney

If you like this recipe, I am sure you will love these related recipes!
As I mentioned after Thanksgiving, there are some dishes that should be made all the time–not just for the holidays to which they are relegated. In particular, I don’t think Thanksgiving should be imprisoned on the last Thursday of November. In honor of my firm stance against such foolishness, I proposed that, on the day after Christmas, my family cook a big bird, complete [wpvideo tFvhqZVp] [wpvideo tlz19ABG] [wpvideo pTK1QxpB] with stuffing, chutney, etc. It was agreed upon–especially since we didn’t get to share the date this year. Also, because the only foods we eat on December 24th are Polish, we thought it might be in [wpvideo UnAFG79d] [wpvideo Xdnz9DoE] order to have some hearty, American fare the next day. So, dear reader, here is a vlog of my chutney–I hope you enjoy the extremely high-tech cinematography and sound. As annoying as the 70s effects may seem, don’t miss the walnut outtake. Texan bags are thicker, I guess. (Video continues below…)
Here is the recipe:
1/2 c apricot or orange preserves
1/2 c firmly packed brown sugar
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 t tsp ginger
1/4 tsp cloves (less if you prefer)
12 oz pack of fresh cranberries (frozen if need be)
1 med. pear, peeled and cubed
1 med. apple, the same
1/2 c golden raisins
1/2 c coarsely chopped walnuts
Combine preserves, sugar and spices in med. saucepan. Bring to a boil, cook until sugar dissolves, stirring occasionally. Add cranberries, pear, apple and raisins; cook over med. heat for 25 minutes or until mixture is thick, stirring occasionally. Stir in walnuts, cool slightly. Pour into clean bowl or jars and store up to 3 weeks.
So I am a little nuts.

Hysterical–this just made my day. I will be playing the walnuts over and over, thank you miss.
I loved the video’s. The last one is the best. This recipe seems really good though and I can’t wait to try it myself. Have a great 2009.
Hey Isabel
So happy that you are blogging! Looks great. I like how the site’s format coincides with the “improvisational scribbling”. It is easy to read lots of interesting articles. Good links.
I saw this posting and the fruits you used reminded me of the jellies that I just posted. Cranberries. Pears instead of the apples. Anyways, keep it coming. I love reading food blogs.
come check mine out (kitchensidecar.blogspot.com). I have a tendency to go at length per posting — trying to work on it. Restraint in 2009.
Cheers
