Instructions:
| Step | Instructions |
|---|---|
| 1 | Melt the butter: In a clean thick-bottomed pan, melt the butter over medium heat. |
| 2 | Add the ingredients: Once the butter is melted, add the orange juice, washed cranberries, finely chopped ginger, grated orange zest, cinnamon stick, sugar, and a pinch of salt into the pan. |
| 3 | Simmer: Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking and burning at the bottom. |
| 4 | Cook until thickened: Allow the mixture to simmer gently for about 10-12 minutes until the cranberries have burst, and the liquid has thickened to achieve a chutney-like consistency. Stir occasionally. |
| 5 | Cool: Once the chutney reaches the desired consistency, remove it from heat and let it cool down. |
| 6 | Mellow flavors: For the best taste, it’s recommended to make this chutney 2 or 3 days ahead of time, allowing all the flavors to meld and mellow out. |
