Since I'm always trying out new cranberry recipes like this one (LOVE those tart red things!), I really had to cue this recipe in half, & probably should have done even less! Still a few neighbors & friends are appreciative of my gifting some of it to them, so . . . ! Now then, we really enjoyed the taste of this chutney, & I did use almost all of just 1 fairly large jalapeno pepper & also was a bit generous with my measures of the zest! That said, you have A GREAT CHUTNEY RECIPE HERE, & a definite keeper! [Made & reviewed in Newest Zaar tag]
