My Cranberry Chutney Recipe is the perfect blend of sweet and spicy. Serve it on top of cream cheese with crackers for a holiday favorite.

Cranberry Chutney on top of cream cheese

I’m always looking for different ways to use cranberries because I absolutely love the tangy-sweet taste. I came up with the recipe one night when we were having our favorite Indian Vindaloo. I use a combination of mango chutney and Greek yogurt to cool the Vindaloo but also brighten the spice. That’s when it hit me…my Cranberry Chutney Recipe! I could make a holiday chutney with cranberries as the star. And that’s exactly what I did.

what is chutney?

Chutney is typically an Indian condiment. It usually uses fruit as a base with added spices that are both warm, zesty and a bit hot. While chutney originated with Indian cooking, it’s become popular worldwide.

how to serve cranberry chutney

This recipe is very versatile and can be served and eaten in many ways.

  • Mix it with cream cheese, instead of serving on the block for a more casual dip that the first method.
  • Use it as a pie filling in a whole pie or in individual hand pies.
  • It’s a great substitute for cranberry sauce at your Thanksgiving dinner.
  • Spread it on toast or as a condiment on a chicken or turkey sandwich.

Krazy kitchen mom tips:

  1. Make this recipe ahead of time. Simply cool it completely and store it in an airtight container (I use a large mason jar for storage). It will last 2-3 weeks.
  2. This recipe freezes very well. Pour it into a ziptop bag and freeze for 3-4 months. To thaw, remove from freezer and set out for 4 hours and then move the bag to the refrigerator until completely thawed.

    I love chutney because of combination of sweet snd spices. The best way to eat it is how you presented with cheese. It’s a heavenly bite of goodness
