Categories     Condiment/Spread     Sauce     Fruit     Nut     Christmas     Thanksgiving     Quick & Easy     Cranberry     Apple     Walnut     Fall     Winter     Gourmet

Yield Makes about 12 cups

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 cups water
3 cups turbinado sugar such as Sugar in the Raw
1 (3-inch) cinnamon stick
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
3 (12-oz) bags fresh cranberries (2 1/4 lb; about 11 cups)
3 Gala or Pink Lady apples
2 cups walnuts (6 oz), toasted, cooled, and broken into small pieces
2 tablespoons Calvados or brandy

Steps:

  • Simmer water, sugar, cinnamon stick, allspice, and half of cranberries (about 5 1/2 cups) in a 4- to 5-quart heavy pot over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until cranberries just start to pop, about 5 minutes. Add half of remaining cranberries (about 3 cups) and simmer, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, peel and core apples, then cut into 1/4-inch dice. Add to cranberry mixture along with walnuts and remaining cranberries, then simmer, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes. Stir in Calvados and simmer 1 minute. Remove from heat and cool to warm or room temperature. Discard cinnamon stick.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh cranberries and oranges. If you can't find fresh cranberries, you can use frozen cranberries, but thaw them completely before using.
  • Be sure to wash the oranges well before using them. You can use a vegetable brush to remove any dirt or debris.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the oranges into thin slices. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Don't boil the conserve for too long, or it will become thick and gummy. Simmer it gently until it reaches the desired consistency.
  • Store the conserve in a clean glass jar in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Cranberry orange conserve is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be enjoyed in many different ways. It can be used as a spread for toast or crackers, as a filling for pastries, or as a glaze for meats. It's also a great addition to cheese plates and charcuterie boards. With its bright and tangy flavor, cranberry orange conserve is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
