SWEET AND SPICY CRANBERRY CHUTNEY



Sweet and Spicy Cranberry Chutney image

This is by far the best cranberry dish of any type that I've ever tasted. It was passed on to me from my mother-in-law. The garlic adds a hint of savoriness and the fresh ginger gives it a spicy kick. A very easy recipe with a sophisticated flavor. I could not find another cranberry chutney recipe exactly like it anywhere on the web, so I am sharing it here! The flavor gets better the longer it sits, so making it a day or two ahead is preferable.
