1 navel orange
3 cups fresh or frozen pitted tart cherries (about 2 pints fresh, picked over)
1 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
2 teaspoons minced peeled fresh gingerroot
1/4 teaspoon dried hot red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/2 teaspoon dried mint, crumbled

Steps:

  • With a vegetable peeler remove two 2-inch strips orange zest and cut into fine julienne strips, reserving orange for another use. In a heavy saucepan stir together all ingredients and bring to a boil. Simmer mixture, stirring occasionally (stir more frequently toward end of cooking), about 50 minutes, or until thickened and syrupy. Cool chutney. Chutney keeps, covered and chilled, 3 weeks.
