Cranberry, Cherry and Pear Chutney

November 30, 2012 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 8 Comments

Hi Everyone,

I was debating about whether to share today’s recipe with you or not.  It’s not because it doesn’t taste good, because it’s tastes fantastic, but it’s more of a Thanksgiving dish.  But then I thought about it and I spoke to others and they told me, it’s cranberries!  Christmas screams cranberries!  A lot of people have a big turkey dinner at Christmas and what goes perfect with turkey?  Cranberries!!!  You know what?   They are right and this chutney/sauce is to good not to share!

This chutney is amazing!  It’s thick, full of dark cherries, sweet pears and tart cranberries. It’s quite a perfect combination if I say so myself!!  Since cherries are out of season, I picked up a bag of frozen ones from Target.  For seasoning my sauce, I  used Trader Joe’s Orange Muscat Champagne Vinegar, brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg.  If you don’t have the Orange Muscat Champagne Vinegar, my guess is that a balsamic vinegar and freshly squeezed orange would work great too!!!  If you like cranberry sauce, I think you will like this one, it’s sweet but not overly sweet.  I’ll leave it to you for adding additional sugar.  I’m more of a fan of tart then I am sweet when it comes to dinner/side dishes.  I like sweet for more like cookies and cake!  🙂


I have to tell you, I made this for my Thanksgiving dinner, last Thursday, however we actually never had our dinner until Sunday.  That’s what happens when it’s just the two of us!  We had a serving for 8 of cranberry sauce and a turkey that is 16lbs!  Needless to say we have been having turkey all week!  However, I’m not going to complain about that!  I love turkey!!!  It’s the only time of year I really have it.  A fresh turkey roast is so much better than the stuff you get at the stores!!  I can’t wait to share my recipe with you, but that will come later.

Now back to cranberries!!  Mmmm, how I love cranberries, but I think you know that if you looked at my recipe page!  But did you know I never liked them till about 4 years ago, when  I decided to make a cranberry sauce and once I had a taste of that, I was in love!  I can tell you, I don’t like the canned cranberries!  I just love the homemade sauce.  It has so much more flavor.  The Cranberry, Cherry and Pear Chutney is sweet, but you get a slight pucker when you get a cranberry.  The sauce is really easy to make, just throw everything together in a large pot and cook for about 45 minutes.  That is it!  I really don’t know why we only have cranberries in November and December?  I’m personally going to stock my freezer up on fresh cranberries, so I can have some in the spring time!   Have you ever froze cranberries?

Did you know that Cranberries are also call bounceberries?  It’s because they bounce when ripe.  Also only 3 fruit, which are  the blueberry, the Concord grape and the cranberry (all power foods) – can trace their roots to North American soil.  Plus they are commonly consumed during Thanksgiving and Christmas but can, and should, be used every day.  Pretty nice!  I am sure you know all the beneficial fact of cranberries!  Let’s just say they are healthy as long as you don’t load them with sugar!

Well my Friends, I have to admit, it’s been kind of an odd week with recipes.  Lots of odds and ends.  I haven’t cooked much at all because I’m trying to finish off my turkey.  I have had turkey sandwiches, salads, wraps or I have been eating it plain all week.  I can’t believe I haven’t gotten sick of it!  I can’t believe I still have a ton left!  I think I’m going to try freezing it!  Can you freeze turkey?

Time for me to get going!  Have a great weekend!!

Toodles,

Jennifer

    Hi Jennifer,
    I’m planning to make this for Thanksgiving, but the only champagne vinegar I could find was over $10. Can you suggest a good substitute? Thanks.

      Wow Sue over $10 is crazy! I bought mine at Trader Joe’s. You could always use a different infused vinegar if you’d like. Not sure what kind? I know they have an inexpensive pomegranate ones that would probably work great too.

Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is that I love Target. It’s my happy place. I get so excited each season to see all the new things that come out. 
🌿
One thing I always love is there faux vase/pot flowers and plants. They are always so pretty and I want to buy them all. But there a couple of things that stops me. The biggest one is that I have no storage for them. Two, they seemed to have gone up in price. They seemed a little pricy to me. 
🌿
For my arrangement, I used one of my canisters for the bathroom. I used floral foam to stick the stems in and I used the paper towel as a filler because I only had very little bit of moss. If I had more moss and I would probably not use the paper towel. This arrangement cost me $5.99. 
🌿
Tip: If you look at Targets faux foliage stems only, they have a lot that are same of what use in there vases. The one I used was Hearth and Hand and was only $5.99 for a stem. The exact ones they used in there pots.
🌿
Hope you enjoy this as much as I have making it. 
Enjoy your day!

Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep clea Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep cleaning in my kitchen on Monday. I washed the floors, cabinets, counters and decluttered the countertops. It feels so good and everything is so bright and clean. Well….

My husband decided to take vacation days this week, and my kitchen does not look so pretty. He has his 💩 everywhere. So annoying. 
💖
Here’s a little bit of the styling that I did. I will work on the coffee bar this weekend, though I’m running a blank on how to style it. I need some inspiration.
💖
What do you do to get inspiration?

I’m sharing heart shaped cinnamon rolls that I made this weekend. I got the idea to make them from my friend Heidi @eleanorrosehome. She made the most delicious looking cinnamon rolls, that I couldn’t resist to make. So perfect for Valentines Day and sooooo easy! 
❤️
I took a can of Trader Joe’s cinnamon rolls and unraveled them, if that makes sense, and rolled them up like a palmier cookie. So fun! You could add food coloring to the frosting to make it pink and add sprinkles. Super cute! You can follow step by step recipe on Heidi’s Instagram page! 
❤️
Thank you Heidi for sharing the recipe. This was so fun!
❤️
Would you rather get chocolate or flowers for Valentines Day?

I’m sharing with you my corner of my living room. I love how open this space looks. I added greenery to give it a fresh look. I also stuck with mostly natural colors with an exception of some blues to bring my whole living room together. 
🌿
Tomorrow I am going to start to share Valentines Day. My dining room is filling up with hearts. It’s so fun. I can’t wait to start sharing. Hope you have a beautiful day!
