Cranberry Chutney

The Gourmet Cookbook
Ruth Reichl, Editor

2 Tbsp. vegetable oil
⅔ cup coarsely chopped shallots
1 (12-ounce) bag fresh or frozen (not thawed) cranberries
⅔ cup sugar
3 Tbsp. cider vinegar
1 tsp. minced garlic
1 tsp. minced peeled fresh ginger
½ tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. red pepper flakes

Heat oil in a 3-quart heavy saucepan over moderate heat. Add shallots and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened about 3 minutes. Stir in remaining ingredients and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, just until berries pop, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool. The chutney can be made up to 1 week ahead and refrigerated, covered.
