Ingredients

  • 24 ounces fresh cranberries
  • 2 cups white onions, chopped
  • 2 cups golden raisins
  • 1 12 cups white sugar
  • 1 12 cups brown sugar, packed
  • 2 cups distilled white vinegar
  • 1 cup orange juice
  • 4 teaspoons fresh gingerroot, peeled and grated
  • 3 cinnamon sticks, one inch long

Method

  • Rinse the cranberries well.
  • Combine all ingredients in a large pot and bring the mixture to a boil over high heat.
  • Reduce heat and simmer gently for 15 minutes or until the cranberries are tender, stirring often to prevent scorching.
  • Fill hot half-pint jars with the hot chutney, leaving 1/2 inch head space.
  • Remove air bubbles, and adjust the headspace if needed.
  • Wipe the jar rims with a clean, dampened towel; apply the preheated lid and the screw bands.
  • Process the jars for ten minutes.
