 Hi guys, it's Shalva from Life is No Yoke. We are here in Solon, Ohio with Michelle at the Vitamix store and she's gonna show us how to make a holiday cranberry Chutney. Nope, relish. Well, either way, all those things work great. I like the word chutney. There you go We we are so excited to have you guys out here And I really wanted to do this recipe with you because this is one that I use around the holidays all the time It's so easy to do. I'm doing a smaller batch So I'm gonna go ahead and use the new 48 ounce container that with the ascent But I do this in a much bigger batch around right around Thanksgiving because you'll see we're gonna do it as an appetizer today But I love having leftovers of this because it's great on like a turkey sandwich the day after Thanksgiving or really anything You would use a regular cranberry sauce for perfect So anyway, we definitely want leftover cranberry sauce always always it's gone. You have to make more absolutely So this is one of our favorites So we're gonna follow a lot of the same basic loading tips that we always talk to you about so we want to put Down on the bottom whatever's gonna liquify quickest which in this case is a peeled orange And you know my saying about the peeling your citrus. Have I ever told you this? No? Oh, okay Just because you can blend it doesn't mean that you shut Because think of all I like that. Yeah, just think of all the flavor you get from like a teaspoon of like lemon zest Yes, can you imagine if you left the entire peel on the lemon or on an orange or on a line? That makes sense. Yeah, the amount of sugar that you would have to do to compensate for the ease of not peeling it Not worth it. True. So we're gonna leave a little peel on our lemon if it's a slight right But I would have if you're doing half a lemon and I always talk about that I did that when I was making strawberry lime survey for the first time and forgot to peel the lime It was not having lime. I don't think we do. No, I feel very often So since that's gonna create my liquid base we're gonna go ahead and put that down first I've got a little bit of sugar. You can certainly use any sweetener that you're comfortable with Like I said, I like adding a little bit of sugar to this because I'm actually gonna use some fresh cranberries Which are pretty tart. Yeah, and this is an appetizer for a holiday dish Like using a little sugar if you're making this for yourself for a healthy meal Like obviously you wouldn't add as much sugar, but for this for this, it's great. The recipe calls for frozen cranberries I'm gonna go ahead and use fresh just because we're in season right now. So why not? Yeah, and I always tell people in this particular recipe or frozen to fresh ratio stays the same Okay, and then we've got a little bit of walnuts could be any nut or you could omit depending on what you want I actually like the texture it gives here and here. I have one chopped up apple. We used to gala I like to use something that's a little on the sweeter side Okay, that's whatever your favorite is and I always point out that we leave the stem I was noticing that I was gonna ask about it part of the apple that we throw away is the Seeds again just because you can't blend it doesn't mean you should because they contain arsenic So I read that the other day and I was like, oh, we should stop eating those. Yeah The recipe calls for this to be turned on and taken on a one and then take to variable four Okay, I'm gonna tell you that I Want on the way. We're gonna serve it right now on top of the cream cheese I like it to stay a little chunkier. I think it's prettier. So I'm only gonna take it to three Totally your own personal preference. So that's what's great about this machine is that you can really kind of you got rule the The texture and that's why and people sometimes are like scared of using the tamper. Oh my god It's the best part It's the best part of the whole thing and it's this collar on top It's gonna allow me to push these ingredients down there and it's gonna be blending slow enough that it's not gonna Liquefy and you know when to stop it for the texture that you want and you can't overdo it when it's moving slowly like that Because the worst thing that you could do is make a cranberry soup right now Right and people are scared of doing that. Well, and I always tell people to that It's like the timers are there as a convenience factor But in the end you're driving the car watching when you're when you see that it's done You know, it's it's just a timer That's all it is so you need to be the one to be in control to get the kind of raw finish that you want so you can see Through the container, which is so awesome. Wait, I didn't point out my new favorite thing about the new descent series This is so silly, but I have to point it out is the new way that the lid attaches because you here You know that you're there because like well problem for us like sometimes people would put their lid on crooked They wouldn't push it down all the way and then they go to use their tamper and everything's wiggling around So now I know that my lid is securely on and that there's no way that tamper is hitting the blade if the lid is Correctly correct. It is physically impossible For the tamper to hit the blade if the lid is on correctly Anyways, alright, so we're gonna go ahead and turn it on I'm gonna take it to that three. Oops. Sorry. I'm doing this today Blending backwards is an art Doesn't take much and which is one thing it's nice when you're in a tiny room in the holidays Beautiful now I probably could have got one or two pieces here, but you see I've got this really great tester And it smells good. I know and then you just spoon this on top of the And if I wanted it more liquid, I would just run it on that four instead and I run it a little bit Longer, but I love the way it looks with that chunkiness. Yeah, those big pieces of cranberry It's such a beautiful color for like a Thanksgiving meal for sure And people I mean what we do this here in the store and people just like we'll eat it with a spoon like it off Yeah, it's that kind of a thing so she's serving this on top of a brick of cream cheese Which is a really easy appetizer obviously crackers cream cheese and a relish Lenny doesn't eat dairy. So I would serve this maybe on the like vegan Cream cheese that we make which is really easy make it with cashews You don't even need to because you could just do this with the Trisket or something like yeah I like the Trisket because it holds up because of it especially if you take it a little bit more liquidy Then you want a lot or you want a heavier cracker that's not going to get saturated It looks like it's delicious enough to eat just on a cracker without the extra cheese But the cream cheese doesn't look kind of delicious as well Thank you. Oh, we have sample spoons here. Are we fancy, right? Oh, it's very very good. It's a great It's really tasty. I think it's a good one for your customers to add to their rabbit wire It's one that we pull out this time of year every and I think that took you a minute and a half to make from start to finish Exactly. So even if people are already at your house This is something I feel like you could make because you're not turning it all the way up and there's yeah It was nearly made in sound. Yeah, mm-hmm, which so quick and easy. I think yeah This is an awesome holiday appetizer. So easy easy Using the ascent with the 48 ounce obviously you could use the bigger container for sure Yeah, and and I when I'm doing it sometimes all like and you can you don't always have to a hundred percent double the recipe Sometimes I'll bump it up and use two apples instead of one So don't feel that you have to totally double double kind of play with it It's a time as I say with all our recipes It's a template for where you want to create go ahead and feel free to get in there and experiment a little bit Yeah, I mean there's a lot of things you could kind of edit in that based on your taste more sugar You can add a little kick to that. Oh my god, you can put a little jalapeno in there. I think would taste really Just kick it up a notch, but this is an awesome appetizer for the holidays So go make yourself some cranberry apple chutney. Yeah, I'm seeing the scent Thanks for watching. Thanks for watching guys
