Cranberry Orange Chutney (Canning friendly recipe)


This recipe produces a cranberry that taste's like a cranberry! You get a tart sweet taste. If you prefer a more sweet version, increase the sugar and brown sugar by 1/2 cup each.
You can can...(funny huh?) or not can this recipe. If you choose to can, use the hot water method and follow the directions from the National Center for Home canning. Super easy and these make great little gifts!
