Instead of the usual jellied cranberry sauce, I serve this refreshing alternative. It's not too sweet and not too sour...plus it's a snap to make. Ingredients:
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons water |
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar |
5 medium golden delicious apples (about 2-1/2 pounds), peeled and chopped |
1-1/4 cups fresh or frozen cranberries |
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon peel |
1 teaspoon minced fresh gingerroot |
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
Directions:
1. In a large saucepan over medium heat, cook and stir water and sugar until sugar is dissolved. Add apples; cover and cook for 5 minutes, stirring often. Add cranberries; cover and cook until apples are tender and berries pop, about 15 minutes.
2. Mash until sauce reaches desired consistency. Stir in peel, ginger and cinnamon. Cook, uncovered, 5 minutes longer. Serve warm or refrigerate until serving. Yield: 3-1/2 cups.
