Apple and Cranberry Chutney

From the kitchen of Carly

Roasted apples and cranberries collapse into deep, jammy chutney with warm spice undertones. Brown sugar caramelizes against the fruit while mustard seeds pop and ginger mingles with clove. Serve warm alongside roasted chicken or spooned over sharp cheddar.
