As usual, I had a half bag of fresh cranberries left after Thanksgiving and I never seem to find the right thing to do with them before they go bad. This year I did some searching, came across the idea of the red pepper chutney and decided to wing it.

1/2 bag of fresh cranberries
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
2 Red Bell Peppers, chopped
Large pinch kosher salt
A couple of tablespoons of datil pepper vinegar (to taste)

I mixed everything, adding salt and pepper until I had the flavor I wanted, and let it cook for a good 30 mins until everything was breaking down. I am not a fan of chunky chutney so if you prefer it chunky you can probably cook it a lot less. Once everything was tender, I added a few more tablespoons of water and blitzed it with the immersion blender. After blitzing I let it cook back down to a nice consistency.

It is very, very tasty and will probably go in the regular holiday rotation. I'd make some and can it for my holiday giving but I have already gone overboard.

PS - I am out of jelly jars. How did I let that happen?

Cranberry bags are somewhat variable in size (I guess 12 ounces is the new standard vs. the 1-pound bags of yore). By half a bag do you mean ~6 ounces by weight?

Cranberries are 2fer here at T-Day. I just freeze them and use for bread later in the winter.

Hi Pete,

Sorry to be so imprecise, but I really did just wing it. I had a 12 oz bag of fresh Ocean Spray cranberries, of which I used 2 C in the frozen cranberry relish, leaving me about half the bag. I didn't measure it tonight, just dumped in what I had left in the bag.

As a bonus it has set up to an almost jelly consistency as it has cooled. It will be on tomorrow's turkey sandwich that is for sure!

Because they'll be totally gone from the produce section in another few weeks, I buy up several extra bags and vacuum seal them for the freezer so I can use them for baking later on. I happen to adore cranberries and have been happily baking crisps and bars and breads while they're available.
I remember wanting to buy some in years past after the holidays were over and not being able to find any; I won't let that happen again.

I made this again tonight in prep for the upcoming holiday festivities. Proving once again that I will never understand canning yields, I doubled the recipe (exactly) and got four times the amount of jam. Still quite tasty.

Lisa,

Oh, thanks for bumping this! I'm doing Moroccan food for TY Day, and this would go perfectly with it.

This has become a fall staple at our house. It's very good with baked chicken, turkey & pork. Use an onion on the small side to prevent too much onion flavor.
