Cranberry-Quince Chutney

  • ACTIVE:
  • TOTAL TIME: 1 HR
  • SERVINGS: Makes 6 cups

Shawn McClain says cranberries and quince need a bit of sweetness to taste their best, so he combines them with apples, raisins and sugar, as well as cider vinegar and spices, to make a tangy chutney.

Our Pairing Suggestion

Pinot Noir's balance of crisp fruit, light spiciness and moderate tannins makes it very versatile—ideal with all the big flavors in this Thanksgiving menu from Shawn McClain.
