Cranberry Apple Chutney

Cranberry Chutney:  Ready to be cooked!

By popular demand I pop by the ole Young Grasshopper to share this AWESOME Cranberry Chutney recipe. 

I love this stuff, sweet and tangy.

This recipe makes 6 Pints plus 1 1/2 pint. Great gifts.... I use it on sandwiches, on Brie [try it in a baked Brie.... YUM] on Crostini and of course on the Thanksgiving table.

WHAT YOU NEED:

6 Golden Delicious apples, peeled & chopped [chunky --see picture above]
4 bags cranberries, rinsed
3 cups light brown sugar

Cranberry Chutney Brie Bites

1 cup champagne vinegar
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1/2 tablespoon salt
1/2 tablespoon ground ginger
3/4 teaspoon ground cloves

WHAT YOU DO:
Throw it all in a large pan, toss to coat the fruit with the sugar/spices and then heat over medium heat. Simmer, stirring occasionally, for 25-30 minutes.

I then "sorta can" it....  I use Mason jars and fill hot and invert for a couple minutes to seal. It will last for months in refrigerator [but not REALLY canned].

HAPPY THANKSGIVING ALL!

Be Thankful every day <3

Simply Fall {Mini Acorn Treats}

These are 2 things..... ridiculously easy & ridiculously CUTE.

What you'll need
chocolate frosting
mini vanilla wafers
chocolate kisses
pretzel sticks

What You Do:
For each, use chocolate frosting to attach a mini vanilla wafer to a chocolate kiss.  Snap a 1/4-inch section from a pretzel stick for a stem and use more frosting to attach it to the wafer. Let the frosting set for 20 minutes before serving.

Seriously, that's it.  They take 10 minutes to make a really cute display and if you are even a little artier than me they be even CUTER!
