Garlicky Cranberry Chutney

---

I think this came from the l.a. Times. It makes a nice change from the traditional cranberry-orange relish. Though this is called a chutney, i've characterized it as 'western u.s.' cuisine rather than indian. It strikes me as sort of 'west-coast fusion', in the spirit of ringing all kinds of changes on the traditional american holiday foods. Also, i don't think cranberries are very typical of the subcontinent. But it would probably be fun to serve it with a chicken or turkey curry.
