Quick Basil Pesto (recipe).
With an abundance of fresh basil in my garden (see video below) I decided to make a batch of…
Cranberry Mango Pineapple Chutney The Ultimate Thankgsgiving Sauce.
I’m an island boy at heart, so I really don’t subscribe to the turkey thing (give me chicken and/or ham). However I call Canada my home and my daughters are born and bred Canadians (but they’d try to convince you that they’re Trinbagonians) so when Thanksgiving time rolls around, they’ve come to expect that perfectly roasted bird (poor birdie) on the table. Every year I try to play around with the menu, which usually means trying different things with the turkey. This year however I’m doing plain turkey, but I thought I be creative with the cranberry sauce, so I thought I’d add some Caribbean sunshine on this years Thanksgiving table with this… Cranberry Mango Pineapple Chutney!
Note: If you don’t have access to mango and/or pineapple, you can use apples with similar results.
You’ll Need…
3/4 cup water
1/2 cup orange juice
1 cup sugar
3 cups fresh cranberries
1 cup ripe mango (diced)
1/2 cup cider vinegar
1 cup pineapple (diced)
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon grated ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
2 cloves (or 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves)
* You can also use frozen cranberries. Replace fresh ginger with ginger powder if you like, and canned pineapple can be used instead of fresh pineapple.
In a medium saucepan combine the water and sugar. Bring mixture to a boil over medium heat. Add the orange juice, cranberries, mango, pineapple, cider vinegar, grate in the ginger and spices. Bring to a boil, then simmer gently for 10 minutes stirring often.
That’s it!
This cranberry mango pineapple chutney can be made days in advanced (as I did) and stored in a glass container in the fridge. It can last for a couple weeks if needed and be sure to use it with not only thanksgiving turkey, but with oven roasted chicken and it also makes a great topping (like a relish) on sandwiches. With a bit more sugar, this could easily be turned into a jam.
Here are some pictures from the Cranberry Mango Pineapple chutney making process:

Chris looking good I want u to know that we are now making your recipe .
Ah going and try this recipe for thanksgiving for me American family. I too don’t really care for Turkey but this looking like it will be real nice. Thanks for all the recipes I still have to get a cook book. Living here makes me forget how to cook Caribbean sometimes and I always visit your website for inspirations, especially when I was pregnant
I didn’t even look at the ingredients, just by looking at the picture I know it was going to be good then when I did read the ingredients I knew It’s something I’m going to make-before thanksgiving.
Dear Chris, this recipe really looks delicious and I really would like to try it but if I cant get the cranberries, can you suggest any other fruit which I can us which will give me the same effect? Also where can I get your cook book? I really would like to know.
Chris, will love to try the recipe, once i can get my hands on some cranberry. Happy and Blessed Thanksgiving.
Chris, I think that I can pull this off! I will let you know about the reviews at Thanksgiving. If I get good enough at this, I might share a jar or two with some with my friends. ELL
Happy thanksgiving to you and your family. I am always looking for a great sauce and this one looks
great.
Gosh! That looks good. Hasn’t tried it as yet, but intend to. Are those fresh cranberries, or could I use those in the pack?
Gosh! That looks good. Hasn’t tried it yet but, hoping before the holidays.

I will definitely make this for our Thanksgiving Dinner in the USA in November,thanks.
We loved it!. My mom said this was better than my usual homemade cranberry sauce. Love the combination of flavors. Thanks for sharing with us.
I used sorrel instead of cranberry which is available at this time of the year in Trinidad.
Fantastic.
