Sweet, fruity condiments are always a delicious addition to an appetizer cheese assortment, and this easy, homemade apple-cranberry chutney is no exception.
Its sweet-tart flavor is a nice contrast to the richness of cheeses like Brie and Camembert and a good balance for sharp aged cheddar.
The flavors of this chutney develop even further after a few days in the fridge, so it can be made ahead and stored for up to a week.
Keep some on hand for entertaining, especially during the holiday season.
