Cranberry Chutney and Cranberry Athanu (Cranberry Pickle)

Need some Thanksgiving inspo?! Make these super easy condiments for your meals for the remainder of the fall season (which is technically Dec. 21, don’t let anyone else tell you otherwise.) Cranberry jams and chutneys reminds me of the flavors I loved in candy as a kid. I grew up on spicy tamarind candy which is very popular in Mexico. Similarly, cranberry mimics that tangy, spicy, and sweet flavor! Both of these recipes are things i grew up with and I wish I could keep them going year-round. Unfortunately these are only for the fall, but I hope you make every day of the season last!
