RED WINE CRANBERRY SAUCE WITH HONEY



Red Wine Cranberry Sauce With Honey image

What does a chef in Napa Valley do to jazz up her cranberry sauce? Add wine, of course. This recipe was inspired by Cindy Pawlcyn, the Napa Valley chef and cookbook author, and includes smashed fresh ginger for extra verve. It's more tart than most cranberry sauce recipes, so if you like yours sweeter, feel free to add more sugar or a little more honey.

Pinch of kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Tips:

  • Choose the right apples: Use firm, tart apples like Granny Smith or Braeburn, as they hold their shape well and have a good balance of sweetness and acidity.
  • Peel and core the apples: This will help the applesauce cook evenly and have a smooth texture.
  • Use a slow cooker: A slow cooker is a great way to make applesauce because it cooks the apples slowly and evenly, resulting in a rich, flavorful sauce.
  • Add spices and flavors: Feel free to experiment with different spices and flavors to create a unique applesauce. Some popular options include cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves.
  • Serve warm or cold: Applesauce can be served warm or cold, depending on your preference.

Conclusion:

Making applesauce at home is a great way to enjoy the delicious flavor of fresh apples all year long. With just a few simple ingredients and a slow cooker, you can create a delicious and versatile applesauce that can be enjoyed on its own, used as a topping for pancakes or waffles, or even incorporated into baked goods.

So next time you have a craving for applesauce, don't reach for the store-bought stuff. Instead, take a few minutes to make your own homemade applesauce. You won't be disappointed!
