Hard Cranberry Sauce (with apple)
2.5 bags of fresh/frozen cranberries
2 large granny smith apples (can sub pears)1 bottle (12 oz) hard cider – wood chuck, etc
1 Tbsp cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg
100 drops cinnamon stevia / 1 c. granular splenda (or sugar or brown sugar if you aren’t worried about carbs)
1 Tbsp fresh grated ginger
Optional: Juice of one orange or lime
Wash cranberries.
Peel and dice apples ( I use a peeler/corer…) Put everything in a big
pot (I use a 6.5 qt dutch oven). Heat over medium until it simmers, stirring
every 10 minutes or so. Allow to simmer for approximately 1 hour, or until all
the cranberries pop and the sauce thickens.
Make approximately 8 cups of sauce. Freezes beautifully.
Perfect as a sauce, a jam or jelly, or a pie filling! MMMMMMM….
