Cranberry-Quince Chutney

By Mbakalarski

Food & Wine: 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.

• 1 small onion, minced
• 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
• 1 garlic clove, minced
