Cranberry Chutney is a favorite at our Thanksgiving table as well as with Indian meals. I try to add as little sugar as possible by replacing it with dried fruits. Dried apricots compliment the cranberries and blend well in this chutney, you can use raisins or dates too. Try Spicy Cranberry Chutney with Brie and toast! Yumm!!

1/2 cup chopped dried apricots
1/4 cup chopped candied ginger
1/2 cup sugar

12 oz. bag fresh cranberries, rinsed
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp. orange or lemon zest
1/4 tsp. ground cloves
1/4 tsp. salt
1 tbsp. rum or bourbon (optional)
