5 cloves
1 cinnamon quill
2 star anise
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 onions, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1/4 cup (55g) brown sugar
1 teaspoon mixed spice
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1 1/2 cups (375ml) apple cider vinegar
1 1/2 cups dried cranberries
6 large apples, peeled, chopped
Finely grated zest and juice of 1 orange
2 tablespoons brandy

Method

1.

Place cloves, cinnamon and star anise on a small square of muslin or clean Chux, then tie with kitchen string to form a parcel. Set aside.
2.

Heat oil in a large pan over medium heat. Cook onion and garlic, stirring, for 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in sugar, mixed spice, ginger, vinegar, cranberries, apple, zest and juice, brandy, spice parcel and 1 cup (250ml) water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 1-1 1/2 hours until reduced by one-third. Cool slightly, then spoon chutney into sterilised jars (see notes).
