This look very interesting -- how much water should one use to make this recipe?

I've never made it, but I would start with one cup of water, stir it well and frequently until the sugar melts, then add more water if it seems necessary. I wouldn't cook it over medium high heat either, at least if I was only stirring occasionally. I'd put it at medium, at the most, and I'd stir it frequently, though not constantly, to keep it from sticking or scorching. It does look a great recipe! I already have 2 cranberry chutneys for tomorrow, but am seriously considering making this, once those are gone. ;o)
