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!! Another dreary day at the Bay! I k Happy Tuesday!! Another dreary day at the Bay! I know I complain about the weather a lot, but this seriously blows my mind in how crappy it is here. I need to get into the garden. It’s my happy place.
🐰
Today I am sharing with you a spring vignette that I created. I just love tulips this time of year. Though, they seem to be out all year at Trader Joe’s, which is kind of strange. I can’t wait until they get peonies and lilacs. My two favorites.
🐰
The candles are from my friends @goldhillcandleco. They are hand poured, 100% soy and have a wooden wick. They smell so fresh and clean. These two candles are from the March subscription box. I highly recommend.
🐰
Have the best day and I hope the sun is shining where you live!!

Happy first day of Spring! Though you wouldn’t k Happy first day of Spring! Though you wouldn’t know it in California. We are still getting rain and it’s in the mid 50’s. We should be in the 70’s by now. I wonder what the summer temps will be like this year?
🌺
Even though it may not feel like Spring,  there is no reason why we can’t start prepping for it. It’s going to be time soon to plant flowers, add a floral wreath to the front door and of course a welcome mat to invite everyone to your home. 
🌺
I wanted to share with you my new welcome mat that I got from @cocomatsnmore. They just had their Spring release and oh my gosh so many cute ones. I love there welcome mats. They are thick, bright colors and fast shipping. I absolutely love the flowers and the saying “Live Life in Full Bloom”. It’s so very true.
🌺
What are you most looking forward to this Spring?

Happy Monday! I did a little bit of Spring cleanin Happy Monday! I did a little bit of Spring cleaning this weekend. I wanted to give my kitchen counters the less is more look.
🫧
I did have a very hard time taking my sink tray off the counter. I’ve had the tray there for years, so I thought I would change it up. Don’t be surprised if the sink tray makes its way back. 😂 I may add some herbs to my window sill for some fresh green color.
🫧
I used @cloth.bristle to clean my kitchen counters and sink. I love cleaning my sink with it. It makes it so sparkly and smells good too! Love that it’s all natural.

Happy Friday! Our next winter storm is here! It is Happy Friday! Our next winter storm is here! It is just awful out there. Heavy rain, high winds and hail. This is not a winter that we are used to in California.

My husband and I are not fancy when it comes to eating dinner. Since it’s just the two of us, we never use the dining room table, but always eat at the kitchen counter.
🥕
There is no reason why we can’t eat fancy at the kitchen counter. I am using my new placemats that I got from @vmathome. They are thick, water, stain resistant and can handle heat up to 350F degrees. I love the color and style of the placemats. They have a wide variety of styles and colors, along with matching table runners.
🥕
I styled my table with bright spring colors that I was inspired by carrots. I still have bunnies on the brain. lol I had fun with this place setting, it’s so nice to have dinner with a little style then having it on a plain plate and paper napkins.
🥕
Have a wonderful weekend!!

Happy March 1st! Everyday is a day closer to Sprin Happy March 1st! Everyday is a day closer to Spring. I looked back last year at this time and my garden was starting to flourish. Boy you should see it now. It’s a big muddy mess. With all the rain and high winds we sure have a huge mess to clean. I can’t wait until we get some warm days. 
🐰
I’m sharing with you one of my favorite vignettes that I created last year. I may have a slight obsession with bunnies. Every year I say no more buying bunnies, but then I end up with a few more in my collection. Lol
🐰
Have a beautiful day!

Happy Monday!! Hope you had a nice weekend! I’ll Happy Monday!! Hope you had a nice weekend! I’ll be honest, I great intentions on decorating my house this weekend, but with the rain and cold, I got pretty lazy. I had packages that were supposed to arrive last week, but with the winter storms here on the west coast, my packages seem to be stuck in Nevada. This weather is so crazy!
🌸
Here is my little corner of my living room with a little pop of spring. Sorry about the lighting. With this weather, photographing is not easy.
🌸
I added a pillow that I got from Target and a white blanket I already had on hand. I of course had to add some bunnies. The wooden bunny with the flowers is from my friend Abby @ittybittycottage. 
🌸
Have a wonderful Monday!!

Happy Wednesday! We are getting such crazy weather Happy Wednesday! We are getting such crazy weather. We are having extreme winds again and boy is it cold out. It’s only in the 30’s right now and tomorrows high is in the 40’s. Normally by now I am planting seeds in the ground and prepping for Spring gardening. I don’t see that happening anytime soon. Where’s the California Spring weather?
🐰
Since we don’t have Spring outside, I thought I would bring Spring in the house. I bought my first fresh bouquet of tulips. Aren’t they pretty? This makes me so happy. Plus I couldn’t resist bringing the bunnies out. They seemed to have multiplied since last Spring. lol
🐰
This Spring vignette was inspired by the beautiful welcome sign from @krumpetshomedecor. I love the bead handle and the cute little bunny on it. The sign is reversible, swipe to see other side. So you can use it all year. It would be beautiful in an entry, guest bedroom and on your front porch.
