INGREDIENTS

• 4 medium apples
• 1 medium onion
• 1 cup packed dark brown sugar, divided
• 1 cup fresh orange juice, divided
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 2 teaspoons mustard seeds
• 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1/2 lb fresh or frozen cranberries (2 cups), thawed if frozen

1. Put oven rack in upper third of oven and preheat oven to 400°F.
2. Peel, halve, and core apples, then cut into 3/4-inch cubes. Stir together 2/3 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup orange juice and remaining ingredients except cranberries in a 13- by 9-inch glass baking dish and spread in an even layer.
3. Roast apple mixture, stirring occasionally, 1 hour. Remove dish from oven and stir in cranberries, then continue roasting until cranberries are softened and most of liquid is absorbed, about 20 minutes.
4. Stir in remaining 1/3 cup brown sugar and 1/2 cup orange juice (add more sugar to taste, if you prefer a sweeter chutney, and more orange juice if the chutney is too thick).
5. Coarsely chop the chutney, to further meld the flavors.
