Ingredients

12 oz fresh cranberries
1 cup peeled, finely diced apple or 1 cup finely diced fresh or canned pineapple

2 tsp grated fresh or jarred ginger, or more, to taste
1 tsp ground cinnamon
¹⁄₂ tsp ground cloves
Dried hot red pepper flakes to taste

Place all ingredients except agave nectar in a saucepan and bring to a simmer. Cover and simmer gently for 20 to 25 minutes, or until most of liquid is absorbed.
Add agave nectar to taste and simmer uncovered for 5 to 10 minutes longer, until thickened. Let chutney cool to room temperature. Transfer to a serving bowl. If making ahead, transfer to a tightly sealed jar or container. Refrigerate until needed. Before serving, bring to room temperature.
