Makes about 2 cups
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, tightly packed
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup apple cider
- 4 cups (1 12-ounce package) fresh or frozen cranberries
- Cinnamon or pieces of cinnamon stick
- 1 tablespoon dried orange peel
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Place the cranberries in a colander and rinse them, picking out the duds as you go.
Put the water, cider, sugars, all but 1/4 cup cranberries, the cinnamon or cinnamon stick, and the orange peel in a medium saucepan on high heat and bring to a simmer for 10 minutes or until the cranberries have burst.
Once the cranberries have burst, add remaining cranberries and season lightly with salt and pepper. Remove the cinnamon stick, if you used it.
Let cool completely at room temperature, taste and season again, then transfer to a bowl to chill in the refrigerator. Note that the cranberry sauce will continue to thicken as it cools. read more words!
