Cranberry Apple Sauce
This is a variation on my mom's favorite cranberry sauce recipe, which she makes annually for the holidays. I use a little less sugar than she does, because we like our cranberries a bit tart to offset the richness of the duck.
Equipment
- Knife and cutting board
- Saucepan
- Citrus zester
Ingredients
- 1 pound whole cranberries
- 1 cup white sugar
- 2 tart apples chopped
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup Creme de Cassis
- 1 Navel orange
Instructions
- In a saucepan, combine the cranberries, water and sugar and bring to a boil.
- Turn the heat down as the cranberries begin to burst.
- Stir in the chopped apple and cook until the apples begin to dissolve and the cranberry sauce thickens.
- Stir in the Creme de Cassis and the orange zest.
- Cool to room temperature and serve at room temperature or cold.
