Ingredients
200g granulated sugar
180ml water
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
340g fresh cranberries, picked over
150g tart apples, peeled and diced
Instructions
- In a saucepan, combine water, sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat.
- Add the cranberries and diced apples to the pan.
- Reduce the heat and let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Once the cranberries begin to pop and the sauce thickens slightly, remove the pan from the heat.
- Allow the sauce to cool to room temperature, or refrigerate it for later use. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
Notes
For a thicker sauce, continue to simmer it longer to allow more liquid to evaporate.
Frozen cranberries work as well, but make sure to thaw them before cooking.
If you prefer a richer flavor, use brown sugar instead of granulated sugar.
For added complexity, consider experimenting with spices like nutmeg, cloves, or allspice.
This sauce can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
