Cranberry Orange Mango Chutney

I love cooking for Thanksgiving. One of the perfect compliments to turkey is cranberry sauce - but I've had enough of that stuff you plop out of a can and serve! I searched and searched for something that would give me a cranberry fix, but also compliment a Thanksgiving meal. I can't wait to make this!!

Cranberry Orange Mango Chutney

Ingredients
1 12 oz. bag of fresh cranberries
1 orange peeled & diced
3/4 cup mango diced (I'll probably use frozen mango chunks that my husband uses for smoothies) 
1 1/4 cup water
1 cup white sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar

1 tsp. ground ginger (can add more to cut sweetness, if needed)
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. nutmeg

Directions
Combine all items in a sauté pan and bring to a boil

Reduce heat and allow to simmer until thickened
Average time = 20 min (depends on thickness desired for the chutney)

Yields approx. 24 oz. of chutney (3 small jars)
If refrigerated, this will keep for several weeks.

Looking forward to turkey, cranberry chutney and all the fixins'!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone :)
