Here's Andrea's recipe slightly modified by Health Maven. We always recommend using organic ingredients.
- 1 (10 to 16-ounce) bag fresh or frozen whole cranberries,
- 2 organic, crisp sweet red apples, peeled, cored and sliced 1-inch thick
- 2-inch piece ginger, peeled and finely grated
- 1/2 cup raw apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup granulated sugar (or preferably use a healthier sugar substitute like sucanat)
- 1 cup water
Directions
- Add ingredients to a large pot and simmer for about 30 minutes. The mixture will soften, reduce and thicken. Cool completely before serving. Keep in the refrigerator. Makes about 4 cups of chutney.
- That's it!
NOTE: Substituting Sucanat for Sugar
'Sucanat is our favorite natural sugar substitute.Sucanat and refined white sugar start as the same product, sugar cane, which is high in many vitamins and minerals. The refining process removes all measurable traces of those vitamins and minerals from white sugar, leaving us with a nutritionally devoid product whose sole purpose is to be sweet.
Sucanat, on the other hand, is not refined. Sugar cane juice is dried until it crystallizes. Sucanat retains the vitamins and minerals of the original sugar cane, and is in a far more natural form than refined sugar.
Sucanat looks and smells a bit like brown sugar. To the taste, though, it's a great substitute for refined white sugar. It is sweeter than refined white sugar, though, so cut the amount down by about one-third in your recipes. So if a recipe calls for a cup of sugar, only use two-thirds cup of sucanat.
We usually cut the sugar in recipes way down, though, because most recipes ask for way too much sugar.'
