This recipe had two things going for it when I saw it ~ Cranberries AND the fact that it's a chutney! Used every bit of the zest of a large orange for this ~ That & the toasted nuts & raspberry vinegar were very nice touches for this chutney! It's now on my list of gifts-to-give! Thanks for sharing!
