Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 9

3/4 cup apple cider ((or sparkling apple cider))
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup light brown sugar ((packed))
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 pinch ground nutmeg
1 pinch anise seed
1 pinch salt
1 large apple ((washed, peeled, and sliced))
12 ounces fresh cranberries ((rinsed, throw out any bruised berries))

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan bring the apple cider, sugar, light brown sugar, cinnamon, ground nutmeg, anise seed, and salt to a boil. Stir occasionally while the sugar dissolves.
  • Add the sliced apples and cranberries to the syrup and simmer with the lid on for 5 minutes. Remove the lid and continue simmering uncovered for an additional 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. The cranberries should burst, the apples will soften and break up, and your sauce will thicken.
  • Once done, remove from heat. You can mash the fruit further if desired. Allow to cool then refrigerate to finish setting up.
