I made madlori's Cranberry Sorbet (currently in the freezer), but was left with a bunch of cranberry guts and nothing to do with them. I wasn't about to throw out decent cranberry guts.

So here we go:

Mad Cranberry Gut Chutney

Cranberry guts (boiled cranberries with the liquid strained out)
1 small onion, diced fine
3 small apples, chopped
2/3 cup cider vinegar
2 tbs orange juice
2 tsp lemon juice
2 handfuls sliced almonds
2 handfuls raisins
ginger to taste
dash allspice
1/2 cup light brown sugar

Heat vinegar, orange juice, and lemon juice. Dissolve sugar. Add fruits. Add spices. Add almonds and raisins. Cook until apples are tender. Cool. Chill until served.

Later: Pie, pie, and more pie. I need a pie icon.
