Fermented Apple Cranberry Chutney

 

So delicious with turkey, ham, or chicken! You’ll want this all year long, not just during the holidays, so be sure to freeze some extra cranberries.

 

Ingredients:

  • 3 cups cranberries (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 cup Granny Smith or Fuji apple (about one large apple)
    peeled and chopped
  • 1 cup organic raisins
  • 1 cup dates, pitted and sliced
  • 1/4 cup honey (optional)
  • 1 cup onion, chopped
  • 3/4 cup celery, chopped
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 packet Caldwell's Vegetable Starter Culture dissolved in 1/4 cup unchlorinated water

Instructions:

  1. Combine all ingredients in a medium-sized saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, about 30 minutes, until slightly thick.
  2. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature. Meanwhile, sterilize 4 8-ounce jars.
  3. When chutney is cool, divide among jars, leaving 1 to 2 inches headroom.
  4. Stir 1 tablespoon of prepared starter culture into each jar and cap securely. Let sit at room temperature for 2 days before refrigerating. Use within 2 months.
