For all those who remain unsure about the idea of switching from cranberry sauce to cranberry chutney, think of cranberry chutney as a cranberry sauce’s sophisticated cousin. It’s sweet, savoury, and a little spicy—all in one glorious spoonful. Imagine pairing your turkey or ham with a chutney that has cranberries, orange juice, a hint of ginger, a few raisins, and a dash of cinnamon and cloves.

Most importantly, where our cranberry chutney truly earns its stripes, is in its versatility.  Once the holiday meal is over, that chutney jar won’t just sit in your fridge waiting for leftovers. Instead, you can use it in sandwiches, sauces, or as a side for different meats.
