Cranberry Chutney (Low Sugar) - Everyday Healthy Recipes

Ingredients

  • 4 cups fresh or frozen cranberries
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup sugar substitute (like erythritol or stevia)
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/4 tsp ground allspice
  • 1/4 tsp ground cloves
  • Salt to taste
  • 1/2 cup raisins or chopped dates (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine the cranberries, chopped onion, apple cider vinegar, and water. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a simmer.
  2. Once the mixture simmers, add the sugar substitute, cinnamon, ginger, allspice, and cloves. Stir well to dissolve the sugar substitute.
  3. Let it cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the cranberries burst open and the chutney thickens. Stir occasionally and adjust the heat if necessary to avoid scorching.
  4. If you’re adding raisins or dates for extra sweetness and texture, mix them in during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
  5. Once the desired consistency is reached, taste and adjust with salt if needed.
  6. Remove the chutney from heat and let it cool. It will thicken further as it cools down.
  7. Transfer to a serving bowl or airtight container. Store in the fridge for up to a week, allowing the flavors to meld even more.

This Cranberry Chutney is not only delicious but also a healthier option for those watching their sugar intake. Serve it alongside your favorite holiday dishes for a burst of flavor that everyone will enjoy.
