Ingredients

1 bag (12 ounces) cranberries, stemmed and washed

2 small tangerines, unpeeled, halved, seeded, cut into 1/2-inch wedges

1/4 cup chopped onion

1 cup sugar

1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger

1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

4 green cardamom pods, husked, seeds ground

1/3 teaspoon salt

Combine all the ingredients except the walnuts in a large, heavy, nonaluminum pan. Cook over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Increase heat and boil until the cranberries pop, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in the nuts. When completely cool, spoon the chutney into sterilized jars. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 days before serving.

Serve at room temperature.
