Ingredients

  • 3 cups whole cranberries
  • 1 red apple grated with a box grater - no need to remove the peel
  • 1 orange zested and juiced
  • ⅓ cup apricots chopped
  • ½ cup brown sugar packed
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • ⅔ cup water
  • pinch salt

Instructions

  • In a medium sauce pan combine cranberries, grated or diced apple, orange - zest & juice, the apricots, brown & white sugar, water and a pinch of salt. Turn heat to medium and stir to combine. Cook until the cranberries burst - the mixture will thicken dramatically - and stir often as all of the sugars can scorch if they get hot.
  • Continue to cook and stir - 15-18 minutes and remove from heat. Allow to cool and refrigerate preferably overnight. Serve chilled
