Don't just make turkey for Thanksgiving. This simple stove-top recipe can be enjoyed all year long – just make sure you stash a few bags of fresh cranberries in your freezer. The cranberry-pear chutney is simmered until nice and thick, and is wonderful with grilled chicken, roasted pork, or as a sandwich spread. When it's not pear season, swap in an apple instead. Serve with sautéed green beans for a vibrant, jewel-toned meal.
