Cranberry Chutney
This post may contain affiliate links. Read my full disclosure policy. Sweet, tart and savory, cranberry chutney makes a delicious alternative to traditional cranberry sauce. Chutney is a condiment of Indian origin made with a blend of sweet, sour, and savory ingredients like fruit, ginger, onions, sugar, spices, and vinegar. This holiday version comes from my mom’s dear friend Joanne Biltekoff, who’s like an aunt to me (and lovingly known to my kids as “the pickle lady” for her famous refrigerator pickles). Joanne makes a big batch of cranberry chutney every year before Thanksgiving to jar and share as holiday gifts. It’s a wonderful alternative to traditional cranberry sauce, delicious on turkey sandwiches, and perfect with cheese, crackers, and charcuterie.
