Garlicky Cranberry Chutney

From Madhur Jaffrey’s cookbook
Eat/West Menus for Family and Friends
(Harper & Row, 1987)
 
 

Ingredients

  •  1-inch piece fresh ginger
  • 3 cloves finely chopped garlic
  • 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 4 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1- pound can cranberry sauce with berries
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (or less)
  • ground black pepper
Cut ginger into paper-thin slices, stack them together and cut into really thin slivers. Combine ginger, garlic, vinegar, sugar and cayenne in a small pot. Bring to a simmer, simmer on medium flame about 15 minutes or until there are about four tablespoons of liquid left. Add can of cranberry sauce, salt and pepper. Mix and bring to a simmer. Lumps are okay. Simmer on a gentle heat for about 10 minutes. Cool, store and refrigerate; it will keep for several days.
