A few years ago I made a recipe for an cranberry apple chutney.

It was a delicious dish that paired perfectly with Thanksgiving turkey.

Plus it was a nice change of pace to the normal plain Jane cranberry sauce.

This chutney is a lovely chunky condiment that has a nice vinegary bite.

What is spiced apple chutney?

If you’re curious what exactly is a chutney it’s a relish-like condiment usually made from cooking together fruit, vegetables, and spiced together with vinegar.

The result is a sweet-tart combination that pairs perfectly with turkey, pork, and even chicken!

This version is a mix of apples, jalapeno peppers, red onion, dried cherries, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, ginger, garlic, and just a touch of apple pie spice.

It’s a delightful combination that really packs a punch of flavor.

This chutney sounds fantastic, and I'm imagining how many things I could put it on...pork, grilled cheese sandwich, chicken...so versatile!
