Name: Cherry Cranberry Chutney
Prep time: 10 min
Cook time: 20 min
Total time: 30 min
Yield: 2 cups.
Ingredients: 1 cup dried cherries; 1/2 cup fresh or frozen cranberries; 1/2 cup raisins; 1/4 cup sugar; 1/4 cup cider vinegar; 1/4 cup unsweetened apple juice; 1/4 cup chopped celery; 1-1/2 teaspoons grated lemon peel; 1/4 to 3/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes; 1/2 cup chopped walnuts, toasted

I found this recipe in a cookbook compiled by a friend’s quilting group. Try it with chicken—but don’t stop there. It’s good with turkey, ham, pork and venison, too.

Ingredients

1 cup dried cherries
1/2 cup fresh or frozen cranberries
1/2 cup raisins
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup cider vinegar
1/4 cup unsweetened apple juice
1/4 cup chopped celery
1-1/2 teaspoons grated lemon peel
1/4 to 3/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 cup chopped walnuts, toasted

Directions

In a small saucepan, combine the first nine ingredients. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium; cover and cook for 15-20 minutes or until celery is tender, stirring occasionally.
Remove from the heat; stir in walnuts. Serve warm or at room temperature. Refrigerate leftovers.

I didn't have dried cherries on hand, so used dried cranberries. They worked just fine and the combination of flavors was very nice. The toasted walnuts are an inspired touch. Will definitely be making this again!
