Apple Cranberry Orange Sauce (Printable Version)
# What You'll Need:
→ Fruit
01 -
300 g fresh or frozen cranberries
02 -
2 medium Fuji apples, peeled, cored, and diced (about 250 g)
→ Liquid & Sweetener
03 -
120 ml orange juice
04 -
100 g packed dark brown sugar
→ Spice
05 -
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
# Step-by-Step Directions:
01 -
Place cranberries, diced apples, orange juice, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon into a small saucepan.
02 -
Cook the fruit mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries burst and the mixture thickens to a jam-like consistency, about 15–20 minutes. Reduce to low heat if the mixture begins to boil too rapidly.
03 -
For a smoother texture, gently mash the cranberries and apples with a spoon during cooking. For a jellied result, press the cooked mixture through a sieve to remove skins and pulp.
04 -
Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the sauce to cool. Serve warm or at room temperature with holiday dishes.
# Helpful Notes:
01 -
Adjust sugar to taste for a more or less tart sauce.
02 -
Substitute orange juice with apple juice, water, or grape juice for a different flavor profile.
03 -
Leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
