- Ingredients:
- 8
- Serves:
-
10-12
ingredients
- 12 ounces cranberries, rinsed
- 1 lb granny-smith apple, chopped
- 1 tespoon fresh ginger, finely grated (Note -- For extra spice, make it 1 tablespoon like I did!)
- 1 cup clementine juice (OR 4-6 clementines)
- 3 cups water (or as needed)
- 1 1⁄4 cups sugar
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 whole cinnamon stick
directions
- If you have or can get clementine juice, skip to step two. Otherwise -- put about 4 or 5 peeled and seeded clementines into a blender. Blend on low speed until juice is extracted. Place this into a saucepan.
- Place clementine juice, water, sugar and salt into a saucepan. Add cranberries, ginger, and apples and stir well. Turn heat on to MEDIUM.
- Add cinnamon stick and stir gently.
- Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally until fruit is soft and cranberries have exploded. (About 30 minutes) Note: If fruit is not cooked before your water evaporates, add more water and cook until soft.
- Uncover and simmer until thick, stirring occasionally (about 10-15 minutes), But please don't walk away at this point! It may burn --
- Turn heat off and let cool, then carefully remove cinnamon stick. Serves well either warm or cold. It's ready to eat!

Very yummy. Changed the recipe to what I had on hand. Added raisins and pecans, and Cointreau (2TBS) because I had no oranges. I would up the spices next time. Hot water canned for 30 minutes. Oh I added 6 cups of chopped apples because I had lots from the tree. Going to make more for Christmas

I say what's on my mind and I tend to be quite blunt. I'm as subtle as a runaway freight train. BUT... I'm FAIR.
If I love a recipe, I will say so. If I think it sucked, I'll tell you so AND why.
