Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • ¼ cup white whole wheat flour or whole wheat flour

  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar (see Tips)

  • ¼ cup chilled butter, cut up

  • ¼ cup chilled 60 to 70% tub-style vegetable oil spread

  • ¾ cup fresh cranberries

  • ¼ cup dried tart cherries

  • 3 tablespoons packed brown sugar (see Tips)

  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar or balsamic vinegar

  • 2 tablespoons pomegranate juice or cranberry juice

  • ½ cup fresh or frozen unsweetened red raspberries

  • ¼ cup finely chopped pecans, toasted

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. In a large bowl, stir together all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, and granulated sugar. Using a pastry blender, cut in butter and vegetable oil spread until mixture resembles fine crumbs and starts to cling. Using your hands, shape the mixture into a ball and knead just until smooth.

  2. Between two pieces of waxed paper, roll dough to a 15x9-inch rectangle, about 1/8 inch thick. Using a pastry wheel or pizza cutter, cut dough into fifteen 3-inch squares. Cut each square diagonally in half to make triangles (30 triangles total). Using a large spatula, carefully transfer triangles to ungreased baking sheets. If dough tears when transferring to the baking sheets, use your fingertips to gently press dough back together.

  3. Bake about 8 minutes or just until edges start to brown. Transfer to a wire rack; let cool.

  4. In a small saucepan, combine cranberries, cherries, brown sugar, vinegar, and pomegranate juice. Bring to boiling, stirring constantly; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, about 5 minutes or until mixture is thickened and liquid is syrupy. Stir in raspberries; remove from heat. Cool to room temperature.

  5. Serve chutney atop shortbreads and sprinkle with pecans.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
