Recipe - Hot Cranberry Apple Chutney

2 md Granny Smith apple; peeled
and chopped
12 ounce Fresh cranberries
1 md Onion; finely chopped
One fourth cup Raisins; seedless
2 tablespoon Triple Sec
2 tablespoon Brown sugar
2 tablespoon Cider vinegar
Three fourths teaspoon Mustard seed; crushed
One fourth teaspoon Ground cloves
One fourth teaspoon Ground nutmeg
One fourth teaspoon Ground cinnamon
3 Jalapenos; with seeds (or to
taste), chopped
One half cup Pecans; chopped

Combine all ingredients except jalapenos and pecans in a stainless steel
pot. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce the heat and
simmer uncovered for 20 minutes, stirring frequently. The cranberries will
pop and the apples become tender and the mix will thicken.

Remove from the heat and process in a food processor. Use the pulse button
so that you get a chunky texture, don't overprocess.

Add the jalapenos and pecans. If you are serving it now, allow it to cool,
then chill it in a covered bowl. If canning, return the mixture to the heat
and fill the jars for processing. (Process 15 minutes in a boiling water
bath.)

Makes around 2 pints.

NOTES : The pH of the chutney is approximately 3.4, making it suitable for
canning. If canned, the jalapenos will lose their heat; add ground dried
chile to maintain pungency.
