Let’s talk about chutney!

I’ve been making cranberry sauce for many years, but wanted to try something different with fresh cranberries. I thought chutney would be a great option and my family absolutely loved it! Chutney is a condiment and can be served as a sauce or as a spread. Different kinds of chutney can vary quite a bit in their ingredients, but most combine fruit with some savory ingredients, sugar, and vinegar. Chutney is similar to relish, but is usually cooked longer, so it has a softer consistency. Chutney is also similar to jam but is different in that it contains a savory element. Because of the addition of the savory component, chutney has an amazing depth of flavor that’s sure to be a welcome addition to all kinds of dishes!

What ingredients go into this easy keto cranberry chutney?

To make this chutney, we combine all the elements of a perfect chutney including fruit, sugar, vinegar, and savory ingredients! For fruit, we simply add fresh cranberries. I wanted their flavor to be the star, so I didn’t add any other berries. The addition of orange extract does bring a touch of orange flavor to our chutney though. For sugar, we add a combination of keto brown and granulated sugar. Yum! The apple cider vinegar brings an awesome tang to our dish without overpowering it. The pumpkin pie spice and vanilla bring wonderful warm flavors to our chutney. For our savory elements, we add diced celery, diced onions, Herbs de Provence, and salt. Herbs de Provence is a spice mixture similar to Italian seasoning, but has the addition of lavender which brings a wonderful floral element to this chutney! You can substitute with Italian seasoning if you’d like.
