Equipment

Ingredients

  • 12 oz Cranberries
  • 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
  • ½ Teaspoon Cumin Seeds
  • ½ Cup Onion
  • 1 Tablespoon Ginger Grated
  • 1 Thai Green Chili Minced
  • 1 Cup Apple
  • 4-5 Medjool Dates
  • 2 Tablespoons Orange Zest
  • 1 Teaspoon Salt
  • 1 Teaspoon Garam Masala
  • ¾ Cup White Granulated Sugar
  • 1 Cup Orange Juice

Instructions

  • Set your Instant Pot to Sauté mode. Add olive oil or avocado oil and let it heat up.
  • Now add the cumin seeds and let them splutter. Next goes in the onions, freshly pounded or ground ginger and green chilies. Saute, and add the chopped apples, and orange zest.
  • Then, next goes in the Medjool dates, cranberries, garam masala salt, and sugar. Mix again.
  • Add the orange juice. Stir it around.
  • Close the Instant Pot lid and set the valve to seal. Pressure cook on High Pressure for 5 minutes. This short cooking time is all it takes to soften the cranberries and meld the flavors.
  • Once the cooking cycle is complete, allow the pressure to release naturally for about 10 minutes. Then carefully turn the valve to the vent to release any remaining pressure.
  • Open the lid and give the chutney a good stir. For a chunky texture, lightly mash some of the cranberries with a spoon. Use an immersion blender to blend the chutney for a smooth consistency.
  • Allow the chutney to cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container. Store it in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. The flavors deepen over time, making it even more delicious!

Notes

Adjust the sugar levels to suit your taste. For a natural sweetener, increase the amount of diced apple or add a touch of honey.
Experiment with nutmeg or cardamom for a unique flavor profile.
Stir in chopped walnuts or pecans after cooking for added crunch.
