Cranberry chutney with apples and celery

4 servings

55 minutes

Cranberry chutney with apples and celery is a spicy sauce with a pronounced sweet-sour note. Chutney, traditionally from Indian cuisine, has become popular in Europe due to its versatility. In this version, cranberries combine with apples and celery to create a layered flavor: the tartness of the berries, the sweetness of candied fruits and sugar, the spice of cardamom, and the light freshness of celery. It pairs perfectly with meat, especially poultry or as an addition to cheeses. Its thick, rich texture makes it an excellent accent in festive dishes.
