Bobby Flay Cranberry Chutney

Bobby Flay Cranberry Chutney recipe

Cranberry chutney is a sweet and tangy relish made with fresh cranberries, aromatic spices, citrus, and a touch of sweetness from sugar or honey. Unlike traditional cranberry sauce, chutney has a more complex depth of flavor, thanks to ingredients like ginger, cinnamon, and vinegar. Bobby Flay’s version enhances the classic chutney with bold flavors that complement both savory and sweet dishes.
