Notes
If you’re prepping for a holiday meal, you can make this 3–4 days in advance and keep it chilled. It’ll be even more flavorful by serving day!
Storage
Be sure to let the cranberry chutney cool completely before storing it in glass containers. Don’t use plastic, as the acidity of cranberries and apple cider vinegar might interact with it, which could affect taste. Keep in the refrigerator for up to 10 days.
For longer storage, spoon the chutney into freezer-safe jars or containers, and then freeze for up to 3 months.
