My Favorite Christmas Recipe

Day 2 of the Wives of Faith blog carnival, and it's all about the FOOD!

I love to eat. The older I get, I find that I have to moderate my portions, because let's face it, it's tough to stop at just one of anything!

So, I think I'll share a new, moderately healthy recipe that I discovered last year, then LOST, then rediscovered this year! It's for cranberry chutney.

Combine all ingredients in a large saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, stirring occasionally, for 5 to 8 minutes, or until cranberries are bursting. Chill until serving time; freeze surplus in small containers. Makes about about 4 cups of chutney.
