Ingredients
- 12 ounces cranberries
- 2 Gala apples (peeled, cored, and diced small)
- ¼ cup water
- ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
- 1 pinch ground cloves
- ¼ cup pure maple syrup
Instructions
-
To make this cranberry sauce recipe add cranberries, diced apples, water, nutmeg, and cloves to a medium saucepan. Cover and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Simmer for 10-15 minutes, until the cranberries have burst and the apples have begun to soften.
-
Add the maple syrup and continue to simmer, covered, stirring occasionally, until the mixture has thickened, 10-15 minutes.
-
Taste and add additional maple syrup to sweeten, if desired.
Notes
If you like a smooth sauce, puree the mixture using an immersion blender, or transfer the sauce to a stand mixer and puree until smooth. Return to the saucepan and simmer over medium-low heat until your desired thickness is reached.
