How to Make Cranberry Fruit Chutney

  1. Cut 1 pound of fresh apricots into 1/4-inch-wide strips.
  2. In a heavy stainless-steel Dutch oven, combine the apricots, 1 cup orange juice, 1 cup pitted dates (chopped), 1/2 cup raisins, and 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger.
  3. Cover and let stand for at least 8 hours or up to 24 hours in the refrigerator.
  4. Stir in 12 ounces fresh cranberries, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup finely chopped red onion, 1/2 cup light corn syrup, 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar, 1 teaspoon mustard seeds, and 1 teaspoon salt.
  5. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring often.
  6. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook, stirring almost constantly, until the chutney has thickened enough to mound on a spoon (about 20-25 minutes). Cranberries will have popped.
  7. Ladle the hot chutney into one-cup hot sterilized mason jars, leaving 1/4-inch headspace.
  8. Cover with prepared lids and screw on bands fingertip tight.
  9. Process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes. Remove and let cool completely. You should hear a satisfying 'pop' as the jars seal.
