A Recipe From the Make It Better with Cranberries in 2010 Cookbook, submitted by Joan Pierce of Quincy, MA.
- 1 Cup Apple Cider
- 1 Cup Fresh Cranberries, Washed
- 1/4 Cup Raisins
- 1/2 Cup Apple or Pear (one small fruit), Peeled, Cored and Chopped
- 1/4 Teaspoon Lemon Zest (one small lemon), Grated or Finely Chopped
- Reserve a few lemon zest sprinkles for garnish
- 1/8 Teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
- 1 Pinch of Salt
- In a heavy, covered saucepan gently simmer apple cider and cranberries over low heat for 15 to 20 minutes (until berries are soft).
- Check and stir frequently to ensure mixture does not burn. If scorching is a problem, or if pan is sufficiently heavy, turn off burner and allow mixture to continue cooking in its own heat.
- Remove saucepan from heat.
- Add raisins, chopped fruit, lemon zest, cinnamon and salt. Stir until mixed.
- Return mixture to low heat for 3 to 5 minutes, if softer fruit texture is preferred.
- Pour sauce into container and chill in refrigerator.
- This recipe may be made ahead if kept refrigerated.
- Before serving, garnish with reserved lemon zest.
Makes 1 1/4 Cups.
