I was ironing a few days ago and the show 5 Ingredient Fix was on the Food Network channel. I have never seen the show before but was very intrigued by the Spicy Cranberry Chutney recipe the host was making. Anthony picked up the cranberries for me and I grabbed the remaining ingredients yesterday and I whipped up a batch this morning. I did decrease the jalapenos to only 3, removed the seeds and also increased the sugar to counterbalance some of the heat and tartness caused by the combination of the limes and cranberries. The chutney is very testy with some heat on the backend which you do not normally get with cranberry sauce. There are a lot of flavor notes here which really jazz up your taste buds.
