Preparation

  1. Step 1

    In a large saucepan combine the vinegar, sugar, curry, ginger, cloves, allspice, cinnamon and water. Bring the liquid to a boil, stirring until the sugar is dissolved, about 3 minutes. Add the lemon rind and lemon sections, the orange rind and orange sections and the apple, reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Add 3 cups of the cranberries, the raisins and the apricots and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 35 minutes. Add another 2 cups of the cranberries and simmer for 10 more minutes. Add the remaining cup of cranberries and the pecans and simmer the mixture for 15 minutes longer.

  3. Step 3

    Remove the saucepan from the heat, pour the chutney into a bowl and let cool. Chill overnight or up to 2 weeks.

A friend made this contribution to a family thanksgiving years ago. It has been a staple ever since, a flavor that is a defining one for this meal. It is a pleasure to make and I have a small cup of it warm when I am finished cooking. I wouldn't change a thing.

I have been making this cranberry sauce since I first saw it in the NYT. It is by far the best cranberry sauce I've ever tasted. I make it every year. It wouldn't be Thanksgiving without this chutney.

I have made this every year for decades. I got the recipe originally from the NYT magazine sometime in the 1980s. Always requested and always devoured.

This is hands down my favorite and most popular recipe. When I make it for a party, several people will ask for the recipe. It’s so delish and textured. Way better than your average cranberry fare.
