Orange and Cranberry Chutney

Delicious, easy and quick  this cranberry, orange chutney will have a place at my

appetizer table this year. It will also find some in pretty jars under my Christmas tree for gift giving.

Do you know the difference between chutney and relish???  I didn’t for the longest time until my sister a great cook, explained to me the difference.

Relish is made with vegetables and fruit, while chutney is almost always made with fruit.

It’s spicy and aromatic condiment that contains fruit, sugar, vinegar and an array of spices.

Delicious severed with crackers and so good on meats, i top my pork chops with it, soooo good

In my experience chutney is usually thicker than relish.

I’ve been experimenting however, by adding cranberries to the oranges, I like this version.

Two of my favorite marmalade flavors together, savory, sweet, tangy with a whole lot of zest!!!!

What can I say I love chutney, why not who doesn’t love a little sweetness with their salty.

Serve it in these pretty bowls on a cheese board or fill some mason jars tie a ribbon with the recipe on it,

and you have the best gifts of all the ones we made with our hearts

This chutney keeps in your refrigerator for weeks like jam, and it’s freezer friendly….
