I would recommend a local North Carolina mustard called Chef Alyssa’s Smoked Chili & Rosemary Mustard

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium shallot, finely chopped
  • 1 2-inch piece ginger, peeled, finely chopped
  • ¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 medium orange, unpeeled, seeds removed, chopped
  • 6 dried Turkish figs, chopped
  • ½ cup sugar
  • ½ cup sherry vinegar or red wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons mustard
  • 1 10-ounce bag fresh or frozen cranberries
  • Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper

RECIPE PREPARATION

Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium. Cook shallot and ginger, stirring occasionally, until shallot is translucent, about 3 minutes. Stir in cinnamon and cook, stirring often, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Mix in orange, figs, sugar, vinegar, mustard, and ½ cup water and bring to a simmer, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Add cranberries and increase heat to medium-high. Bring to a boil and cook, stirring occasionally, until cranberries burst and liquid is reduced to a light syrup, 12–18 minutes. Let cool slightly; season with salt and pepper.

Chutney can be made 1 week ahead. Let cool; cover and chill.
