Ingredients

1 cup water

1 cup sugar

12 ounces cranberries, fresh (or frozen)

1/2 cup vinegar

1 cup raisins

1/2 cup peeled diced apple

1/4 teaspoon allspice

1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

1/8 teaspoon ground cloves

1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Preparation

Bring water and sugar to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium heat.

Add remaining ingredients; return to a boil.

Reduce heat and simmer 15 minutes or until apples are tender.

Pour into a glass mixing bowl (acid foods can react with metal bowls).

Place a piece of plastic wrap directly on chutney.

Cool to room temperature; then refrigerate overnight, covered with plastic wrap, so flavors blend.

Serve at room temperature.

Use as an accompaniment to meats such as turkey or use as a Sandwich spread with bagels plain or with a layer of cream cheese.
