Cranberry Chutney

These days, cranberries are fresh and in every store and market, so it was appropriate to make something for the Holidays.  I love chutney with chicken, turkey, pork and my new favorite is with cheese.  This easy recipe is tart but with a little hint of heat.  You can add or subtract any of the ingredients to make it suit your taste. 

I choose to test my chutney recipe with a wonderful local cheese, Chèvre Camembert, from the

 Goat Lady Dairy.  It was an awesome match!
