Cranberry Chutney

Description
Cranberry Chutney

East meets West in this unique blend of cranberries with other fruits. Makes a nice change of pace from the traditional cranberry sauce at Thanksgiving. Great as a sandwich spread with cream cheese too :)

Ingredients

 * 1 	 cup   water
 * 1 	cup sugar
 * 12 	ounces cranberries, fresh or frozen
 * 1/2 	cup vinegar
 * 1 	cup raisins
 * 1/2 	cup peeled diced apples
 * 1/4 	teaspoon allspice
 * 1/4 	teaspoon ground ginger
 * 1/4 	teaspoon cinnamon
 * 1/8 	teaspoon ground cloves
 * 1/2 	cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Directions
# Bring water and sugar to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. # Add remaining ingredients; return to a boil. # Reduce heat and simmer 15 minutes or until apples are tender. # Pour into a glass mixing bowl (acid foods can react with metal bowls). # Place a piece of plastic wrap directly on chutney. # Cool to room temperature; then refrigerate overnight, covered with plastic wrap, so flavors blend. # Serve at room temperature. # Use as an accompaniment to meats such as turkey or use as a Sandwhich spread with bagels plain or with a layer of cream cheese.
