Cranberry Chutney
"It’s true, cranberries are bitter, and traditional recipes use lots of sugar to bring out the fruit’s great flavor. In this recipe, however, exotic spices take the place of all that sweetness, without overwhelming the rest of the meal. It’s heavenly on a sandwich of leftover sliced turkey! This chutney’s best if you make in advance (at least the day before). Fill a jar with chutney for a colorful Christmas gift...."
