Cranberry Pomegranate Chuntney

 This week one of our local grocers was selling cranberries for less than $1 a bag, (I scored 6 bags!!).  I started thinking about making bread, muffins, cookies, etc., etc.  Then I found pomegranates for 75 cents each and I knew I was going to make a cranberry pomegranate chutney for Thanksgiving.  It's so easy, and so quick.  No standing over the stove stirring and waiting for the cranberries to pop open.  Also, I make this much lower in sugar.  All you need is:
1 - 12 oz bag of cranberries
1 medium pomegranate
1/2 cup sugar
1 Tabs lemon juice
Seed the pomegranate, you will need approximately 1 cup of seeds.
Place everything in the food processor. Pulse for a minutes or so.
And you done!!  That fast and easy.  Give it a taste.  This is perfect for us, but if your family likes it a little sweeter, go ahead and add a little more sugar.
This stores in a covered container very well in the refrigerator for a week to ten days.  But it doesn't last that long in our house!!  It goes so well with turkey, chicken, ham, and any kind of pork.  Great to mix with mayo for sandwiches.
For lunch, I having a turkey and provolone cheese sandwich on homemade bread with my homemade chutney.  
OH MAN, does that ever look delicious!!  And it taste heavenly!!

If you don't have pomegranates, go ahead and make your chutney with one medium orange, (remove the seeds first).  It's just as delicious!

Enjoy.
