Notes

- Storage After Cooking. Store your cranberry chutney in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- Use Fresh Orange Juice and Lemon Juice: You will be using the zest anyway so using fresh makes sense. But really, it tastes so much better than anything prepared in advance.
- Make Ahead: Everyone's busy during the holidays so if you're looking for recipes you can make ahead of time this one is perfect. Make it up to 3-4 days in advance and store it in the fridge until you're ready to serve it.
