This Apple-Orange Cranberry Sauce is a vibrant twist on a classic! Bursting with fresh flavors, it's perfect for any holiday table or year-round treat.
Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 large navel orange zested and juiced
- 2 large Granny Smith apples peeled and chopped into 1/4-inch pieces
- 6 cups fresh cranberries
- 1 cup sugar adjust according to taste
- 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
- 2 tablespoons chopped candied ginger
Instructions
- Start by zesting and juicing the large navel orange. Set aside the zest and juice for later. Peel and chop the Granny Smith apples into 1/4-inch pieces.
- In a large pot, combine the fresh cranberries, chopped apples, orange zest, orange juice, sugar, maple syrup, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, and chopped candied ginger.
- Place the pot over medium heat. Stir the mixture gently to combine all the ingredients. As the cranberries heat, they will burst and release their juices.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- After simmering, taste the sauce. Adjust sweetness or spice to your liking.
- Once the sauce has reached your desired thickness and flavor, let it cool. Transfer it to storage containers and refrigerate until ready to serve.
