Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 12 oz. pkg cranberries premium fresh
  • 1 apple I use Honeycrisp but any tart apple such as Granny Smith also works
  • ½ orange
  • 1 ½ cups water
  • 1 ¼ cups sugar
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp cloves

Instructions

  • Sort the cranberries, discarding any soft ones. Wash and drain. Place in saucepan.
  • Peel, core and quarter the apple. Cut into ¼ inch dice. Add to saucepan.
  • Juice and rind the orange and set aside. 
  • Add the orange juice, water and sugar.
  • Bring to a boil over medium heat, reduce the heat to low and leave uncovered. Simmer gently, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens, the apple is tender, and the cranberries have burst, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Add the cinnamon, cloves and orange rind. Turn off the heat.
  • Transfer the cranberry sauce to a glass bowl and allow it to cool completely
  • Serve at room temperature.
