Christmas Chutney

Cranberries, cloves, cinnamon and clementines could you get more christmassy than that?

This delicious homemade christmas chutney recipe has been adapted from the brilliant Nigella christmas cook book and is delicious dolloped on your festive dinner, served with the leftover cold cuts of meat or slathered on a cracker and cheese whilst watching the Eastenders christmas special!

If you have leftovers in the pot then pop into a sterilised jar and label up as a lovely homemade gift.

Preparation Time:

Serves: 9

Ingredients

  • 750g cooking apples, peeled, cored and chopped small
  • 1 medium onion, peeled and roughly chopped
  • 500g fresh or frozen cranberries, thawed if frozen
  • 250g soft pitted dates, each date cut into 3
  • zest, pulp and juice of 2 clementines/satsumas
  • 400g caster sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
