I added two more apples and extra apple juice.

Cranberry-Apple Chutney
Three cups brown sugar
Two cups white vinegar
One cup apple juice
Two tsp. ground ginger
One tsp. granulated garlic
One-quarter tsp. coriander
One tsp. cinnamon
One-half tsp. nutmeg
One-half tablespoon fresh orange peel, diced.
One-half tsp. salt
Five Golden Delicious apples, peeled, cored and diced
One package (twelve oz.) fresh cranberries
Two cups raisins
Combine the first group of ingredients in a large, heavy saucepan (brown sugar through salt). Bring to a boil and simmer for five minutes.
Add the fruit to the mixture in the saucepan, then turn to very low, and cook until the chutney thickens. The amount of time will vary with the amount of juice in the apples. But it needs to cook at least one hour. Stir frequently. Remember that it will thicken as it cools, so remove it from the heat just before it reaches the very thick stage. Store in the refrigerator until ready to use.
Makes twelve half-pint jars. It's great on turkey, pork, rice and toast.
Divide between containers if you are giving the chutney as a gift. I can it in pretty jars.
My friend Kami ate an entire jar with a spoon while standing at the kitchen sink thinking:
"I wonder if the next bite is as delicious as the last?"
Thank you for that recipe. With Summer coming up that will be nice to make and make good prezzies for my siblings. It looks like it will go well with cheese too, like quince, have you tried that?
Eating it with cheese and quince sounds lovely. Never thought of that.
I don't eat much cheese. Quince does not grow here. A different climate.
