A semi-homemade cranberry orange apricot chutney

chutney fruitI’m not a dessert eater but I do like a sweet element when I cook turkey, as I did at Thanksgiving.   I made a semi-homemade cranberry orange apricot chutney.  Here’s the recipe:

1.  Saute until golden one large onion and 1 chopped clove of garlic in 1 tbsp butter in a saucepan with a half cinnamon stick (or a few shakes.)
2.  Add 1 can whole berry cranberry sauce.
3.  Drain one can of mandarin orange segments into a bowl, saving the juice in another bowl.
4.  Put the orange segments into the sauce.
5.  Into the bowl of juice, chop up 1 tbsp of fresh ginger and let it soak.
6.  Chop a dozen dried apricots and put them in the orange ginger juice.
7.  Add 1 tsp of apple cider vinegar to the sauce and heat thru.
The dried apricots will plump up in the juices.  It’s delish. Sauteed onions make it savory and ginger and cayenne give it a bite.
