Cranberry Lime Chutney

It took a couple of tries starting from scratch on this idea but the latest effort is worth reporting, I think.  Ingredients are pretty straightforward:

1/2 Onion, diced fine
3 Limes
2 1/2 cups whole Cranberries
1 cup Tarragon Vinegar
1 cup Honey
1 t. dried Tarragon

Limes are sliced thin, then slices quartered.  Everything mixed together and cooked with constant stirring.  I actually added the vinegar and honey a bit at a time working to taste, cranberries too, for that matter.  Add water as needed to prevent it getting too thick and burning.  Cook until cranberries and lime rinds are thoroughly cooked, then evaporate extra water, stirring constantly to avoid burning as it thickens.

I will spend some time tasting this then give some consideration to what else might be added.  In particular, I think it may be interesting to make some of it hot with dried red chili pepper.  We'll see...
