Whether it’s a jellied sauce or cranberry chutney, like this one, Thanksgiving dinner isn’t complete without some type of cranberry sauce. Now you won’t catch me serving a a canned cranberry sauce anytime soon. After you try this recipe, neither will you!

Although a canned cranberry sauce does have those molded rings that some family members fight over, this cranberry chutney is loaded with bits of orange, nuts, and raisins. If you don’t want anything overly sweet,  you’ll love this recipe! It’s a little on the tart side and loaded with great flavor that is perfect for Thanksgiving turkey, chicken, or other dishes.

We’ve cut back on using white sugar in our house, so, local honey is used as the sweetener. You can substitute equal amount of white cane sugar if you prefer not to use honey.

Cranberry chutney is great for more than just a side with your Thanksgiving meal.

  • Spread this on bread then layer with sliced ham and swiss cheese to create an amazing panini.
  • Place chutney on to of warmed brie cheese and serve  crackers or toast points.
  • Spoon over ice cream or yogurt.

    Up until a couple years ago, I’d never made anything with fresh cranberries! When I tried cranberry salsa I was amazed at how much better it was than the canned gelatin stuff 🙂 This looks delicious!
