Notes
1. Cooking On An Aga - Cook the chutney on the boiling plate.
2. Cranberries - Fresh cranberries are best but frozen ones will work as well. If you're using frozen cranberries, defrost them first.
3. Storage - Make sure to store your chutney in a clean, sterilised container/jar. Kept in the fridge, it should keep for at least a couple of weeks. Alternatively, you could store the chutney in the freezer for several months.
