Pear, Apple & Cranberry Chutney

This chutney, with its hint of savory spices, is an antidote for over-the-top sweet holiday snacks.

• ½ cup apple cider vinegar or white balsamic vinegar

• ½ cup brown sugar

Simmer until the syrup thickens slightly.  Add the following ingredients and stir frequently over low heat until most of the syrup is absorbed:

• ½ cup dried cranberries                                                

• 2 pears (peeled, cored and diced)

• 1 apple (peeled, cored, and diced)

• ¼ teaspoon ground rosemary

• ¼ teaspoon cumin

The chutney may be stored in a refrigerator for several days. Spoon over a round of brie and warm for 20-30 seconds in a microwave.

The chutney also pairs well with turkey.
