Recipe By Chef Scott Callahan

Add some spice to your Thanksgiving meal! This is a unique alternative to the usual cranberry chutney found on many Thanksgiving holiday feast tables. The fruit, holiday spices, and serrano chiles all add layers of complex flavors to the traditional sauce.

Serving Suggestions

Makes a great accompaniment to roast pork, chicken or turkey. Delicious with roasted squash or potatoes. Use leftovers on grilled cheese or quesadillas.

Recipe Notes

This chutney is spicy but the heat mellows over time. For a milder version, use half the amount of suggested Serrano and Urfa.

Ingredients

1/2 cup water

1/2 cup orange juice

1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen cranberries

1 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup minced shallot

4 Serrano chiles, destemmed and deseeded

1/4 cup small diced dried apricots





1 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar
