Cranberry Jalapeno Persimmon ChutneyJust like Grandma never made… cranberry sauce with a kick! I’ve made this many times and it’s always more popular than the stuff from the can.

The renovation: This recipe originally appeared in the San Diego Union-Tribune newspaper’s Smart Living section. I replaced the sugar with agave syrup and changed some of the fruits, reducing the onion by half.

If you have a masticating juicer, you can run all the fruit through it with the blank in. Put half the cranberries through the juicer; leave half of them whole.
