Categories     condiment

Time 35m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 orange
2 cups Water
1 tart apple, peeled and diced, such as Granny Smith
12 ounces fresh or frozen cranberries, if frozen, defrost for 1?2 hours before using
1 1/4 cups sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

Steps:

  • Slice away the bottom of the orange so it sits steady on the cutting board. Working from top to bottom, slice off the peel, leaving behind most of the white pith. Finely dice half of the peel strips; discard the rest or save for another use. In a small saucepan over high heat, combine the diced peel and the water. When the water comes to a boil, lower the heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, squeeze all the juice from the orange and set aside.Strain and set aside the blanched orange peel.
  • In a medium saucepan, add diced apple, cranberries, orange juice, blanched orange peel, sugar, cinnamon, and cloves. Bring to a boil over high heat; then reduce the heat to low and partially cover the pan. Simmer gently, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens, the apple is tender, and the cranberries have burst, 10-15 minutes.
  • Transfer the cranberry sauce to a heatproof bowl and let cool for 1 hour before serving.

Tips:

  • Choose the right apples: Use a variety of apples to create a well-balanced flavor. Tart apples, such as Granny Smith or Braeburn, provide a nice contrast to the sweetness of the oranges and cranberries. Sweet apples, such as Honeycrisp or Fuji, add a mellow sweetness.
  • Don't peel the apples: The skins of the apples add color, texture, and flavor to the sauce. Just be sure to wash the apples thoroughly before using.
  • Use fresh oranges and cranberries: Fresh oranges and cranberries provide the best flavor. If you can't find fresh cranberries, you can use frozen cranberries that have been thawed.
  • Add some spices: A variety of spices can be used to flavor the sauce. Common choices include cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. You can also add a bit of ginger or allspice for a unique flavor.
  • Cook the sauce until it reaches the desired consistency: The cooking time will vary depending on the type of apples you use and how thick you want the sauce to be. Cook the sauce until it has reached your desired consistency, stirring occasionally.
