Best Cranberry Sauce


INGREDIENTS

    • 2 lb Gala apples (about 4)
    • 1 medium onion, cut into 1-inch pieces
    • 2/3 cup packed dark brown sugar
    • 1/2 cup fresh orange juice
    • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
    • 2 teaspoons mustard seeds
    • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
    • 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
    • 1/2 lb fresh or frozen cranberries (2 cups), thawed if frozen

    1. Put oven rack in upper third of oven and preheat oven to 400°F. 3Peel, halve, and core apples, then cut into 3/4-inch cubes. Stir together with remaining ingredients except cranberries in a 13- by 9-inch glass baking dish and spread in an even layer.
    2. Roast apple mixture, stirring occasionally, 1 hour. Remove dish from oven and stir in cranberries, then continue roasting until cranberries are softened and most of liquid is absorbed, about 20 minutes.  Blend to get a smoother texture.  Serve chutney warm or at room temperature.
Cooks' note:
Chutney can be made 3 days ahead and cooled, uncovered, then chilled, covered.
