Cranberry Chutney
Tuesday, January 26, 2010
I was searching internet for the benefits of cranberry, as they step in to my kitchen. I cam across lots of cranberry chutney pages in search results.. So imm i thought of making my own version of cranberry chutney in Indian style first. I used to bring cranberry juice previously, but one day these bright colored little ones attracted me. When i tasted it,my taste buds sensed a familiar taste---Ragi Pallu or Ziziphus jujuba family. But cranberry,s are little bitter n cant eat them as raw.. So made them into chutney or spicy jam. It taste's very good with sandwich, biscuits n chapathi ...
