Apple-Cranberry Sauce

 

For a change of pace I sometimes squeeze a little lime juice into my

sauce and up the sugar slightly.

 

12 oz fresh cranberries

1 large tart apple, peeled, cored, diced

1/2 cup honey or brown sugar (or more to taste)

1 1/4 cups fresh apple cider or unsweetened natural apple juice

ground cinnamon or nutmeg, if desired

 

Chop the cranberries by hand or use a food processor fitted with a

chopping blade.

 

Place the chopped berries and diced apple into a heavy saucepan and

stir in the honey and apple cider.

 

Bring the fruit mixture to a high simmer and stir gently as it simmers

for 10 to 15 minutes, until the fruit is as tender and soft as you

prefer.

 

Remove the pan from the heat and cool completely at room temperature.

Add more spices if desired.

 

Cover and chill in an air-tight container several hours before serving.

 

Serve as a side dish or add as a condiment to veggie quesadillas made

with corn tortillas, cooked winter squashes and mashed sweet potatoes,

or nutty brown rice casseroles.
