To can or not to can? The burning question for most people when planning Thanksgiving dinner.

Recipe for Cranberry Apple Ginger Chutney:
Ingredients
1 (10 to 16-ounce) bag frozen whole cranberries
2 red apples ( 2 cups, peeled, and chopped 1-inch thick)
1 tbsp finely grated ginger
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
1 tbsp orange zest
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup water
Small pinch of ground clove
Directions:
Combine all ingredients into a large saucepan. Bring to a simmer and cook until softened, reduced and thickened, about 30 minutes.
Uncover and cook for a few more minutes, to reduce any remaining liquid. Cool fully before serving. Best if made a day ahead.
