Ingredients

1 (12-ounce) package fresh or frozen (don't thaw) cranberries
1 cup unsweetened pineapple juice
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup golden raisins
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon hot red-pepper flakes
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

Combine all ingredients in a 2-quart heavy saucepan.
Simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until cranberries burst, then collapse, about 12 minutes.
Transfer to a bowl and cool, uncovered (chutney will thicken as it cools).
Chill chutney, covered, at least 8 hours for flavors to develop.
