Blueberry Chutney
I had fresh blueberries in the fridge so I decided to be adventurous and try this Blueberry Chutney recipe out of my Farm Fresh Recipes Book. I was surprised at how yummy it turned out and it was easy to make. It is wonderful over cream cheese and bread. -Lora
Makes 1 1/2 cups
1/2 c raspberry vinegar
1/2 c sugar
1 medium onion, minced
1/4 tsp fresh minced ginger
1/8 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp minced lemon rind
Pinch cayenne pepper
Pinch salt
3 c blueberries, divided
1/4 c dried cranberries
1. Combine the vinegar, sugar, onion, ginger, cinnamon, lemon rind, cayenne, and salt in saucepan, bring to a boil. Simmer 15 minutes.
2. Add 1 c blueberries and cranberries. Simmer 20 minutes, stirring frequently.
3. Add remaining 2 c blueberries; simmer 10 minutes.
4. Use as condiment with pork roast, duck, venison, broiled chicken or beef, or as a topping for a turkey or chicken sandwich. Note: Use it for a quick appetizer by spreading it over wedge of brie or cream cheese and serve with crackers or crusty bread.
