  • 1 teaspoon grated orange rind
  • 1 cup (250 mL) orange juice
  • 2 apples, cored, peeled and cut into chunks
  • 2 ½ cups (300 grams) frozen or fresh cranberries
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  • If using fresh cranberries, make sure you rinse them beforehand. Set aside.
  • In a medium sized pot combine the sugar, orange rind and orange juice and bring to a boil.  Next, add the cranberries, apples, nutmeg, cinnamon and salt.
    1 cup (200 grams) sugar, 1 teaspoon grated orange rind, 1 cup (250 mL) orange juice, 2 apples, cored, peeled and cut into chunks, 2 ½ cups (300 grams) frozen or fresh cranberries, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, pinch of salt
  • Reduce heat to a simmer.  Cook, uncovered for 25 – 30 minutes.  You will notice that the cranberry sauce thickens somewhat as it cooks.  You will also notice the cranberries opening up or bursting.
  • Let cool, and refrigerate, in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
  • Enjoy!
