Instructions

1.
Melt the Jersey butter in a large pot or saucepan over medium heat.
2.
Add the chopped onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
3.
Stir in the grated ginger and minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
4.
Add the chopped Jersey apples, dried cranberries, cider vinegar, sugar, cinnamon, allspice, cloves, salt, and pepper to the pot.
5.
Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
6.
Reduce the heat to low and cook for 30-40 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the chutney has thickened to your desired consistency. Stir frequently to prevent sticking.
7.
Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. You may want to add more sugar for sweetness or vinegar for tanginess.
8.
Allow the chutney to cool slightly before transferring it to sterilized jars.
9.
Seal the jars immediately and store in a cool, dark place. The chutney will keep for several weeks in the refrigerator once opened.

Chef's Tips

Sterilize jars by boiling them in water for 10 minutes before filling.

For a smoother chutney, you can use an immersion blender to blend it slightly after cooking.

Serve the chutney with Jersey cheese (such as Jersey Farmhouse cheese), crusty bread, or roasted meats. Try it also with Jersey Royal potatoes!
