Delicious with turkey and absolutely divine
on next-day turkey sandwiches! This recipe was passed to me by my stepmother,
who was an inventive, innovative cook.
This recipe is vegan and vegetarian
friendly, gluten-free, and can be made diabetic friendly simply by substituting
sweetener for the sugar.
Enjoy!
Ingredients
1 cup sugar (or equivalent amount of
sweetener)
½ cup water
2 tbsp orange zest
⅛ to ¼ tsp salt
⅛ tsp cinnamon
Pinch or two of ground cloves
4 cups fresh cranberries, washed and picked
through
½ tsp vanilla extract (essence)
Method
Combine sugar, water, zest, salt, and
spices in a large pan and bring to the boil. Simmer, stirring occasionally, for
5 minutes. Add cranberries and simmer until berry skins pop (10 to 15 minutes,
longer if you are at a high altitude); continue cooking until mixture thickens.
Remove pot from stove, stir in the vanilla.
At this point you can either ladle the
mixture into sterilized jelly jars and cap, or simply set aside to cool (make
sure it is covered). If you put it in jelly jars, 20 minutes in a hot water
bath should set the lids and then it can be stored in a cupboard for up to one
year. Otherwise, keep chilled and use within 2 weeks.
Serving
suggestion:
For each diner, place 1/3 cup applesauce in
a small sauce dish and place two tablespoons cranberry sauce on top.
