Place into mini-sized Mason jars as a holiday gift. GREAT flavors. Warm colors.

Combine all ingredients in a stainless soup pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer (uncovered) until juices thicken, apples soften and cranberries break apart. This will take some time. Syrupy consistency is the goal. Transfer chutney to a storage container allowing cooling before covering and refrigerating. A great condiment for Thanksgiving dinner.
