If using frozen cranberries, which are just as good for this recipe, don’t bother thawing them first.
Ingredients
Makes about 4 cups
Step 1
Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium. Cook shallot and ginger, stirring occasionally, until shallot is translucent, about 3 minutes. Stir in cinnamon and cook, stirring often, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Mix in orange, figs, sugar, vinegar, mustard, and 1/2 cup water and bring to a simmer, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Add cranberries and increase heat to medium-high. Bring to a boil and cook, stirring occasionally, until cranberries burst and liquid is reduced to a light syrup, 12–18 minutes. Let cool slightly; season with salt and pepper.
Do Ahead
Step 2
Chutney can be made 1 week ahead. Let cool; cover and chill.

Back to TopThis is so good. Gives me some acid reflux, so I take something for it so I can dig in. It also works awesome in leftover turkey sandwiches after Thanksgiving. Add a little goat cheese and spinach in the sandwich and you've really got something good.

Outstanding recipe. This is now my go-to holiday cranberry side. Don’t let the shallots, vinegar and mustard scare you off! The orange rind takes on a nice candied flavor and the figs give this chutney an interesting bite. The combination creates a complex and bright accompaniment to any meal. Don’t try to substitute the whole grain mustard - it’s an essential element to this dish. I skipped the salt and pepper. It was perfect.

A great accompaniment to Thanksgiving dinner. I also freeze and use to dollop on sweet potatoes, use in coleslaws, topping warmed Brie and pizzas.

A very good Thanksgiving chutney. I used a juice orange and sliced it thinly on a mandolin. Would definitely make again!
