I have been making this for years. Wonderful sauce for your Thanksgiving day holiday-- but goes great with roasted meats any time of year. It is easy and a delicious alternative to the canned cranberry sauce. You can alter the ingredients to fit your taste as well.

How To Make sher's cranberry-apricot chutney

Step 1

In medium bowl, mix together apricots, cranberries, raisins (or dried cherries), and the spices.

Step 2

In large saucepan, boil the water and sugar, stirring constantly, until sugar dissolves. Add the dried fruit/cranberry/spice mixture and vinegar. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring often, until cranberries pop, and mixture thickens a little bit.
Step 3

Remove from heat, allow to cool for 10 minutes. Serve immediately, or store in the refrigerator in a covered container for up to 2 weeks.
