Thanksgiving Cranberry & Apricot Sauce
I LOVE trying new recipes. And, with the holidays behind us, here is a recipe inspired by my niece and nephew who requested something other than the congealed cranberry sauce out of the can.
This is super easy and what I've come up with after I gathered ingredients from different recipes and approached several older women in the grocery store. My niece and nephew love it and it's become apart of their holiday tradition.
Ingredients:
1 bag of fresh cranberries. (Rinse and discard of bruised cranberries)
1/2 cup chopped dried apricots
1 cup sugar (just do it!)
1 cup orange juice (no pulp)
1 zest of medium orange
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon cinnamon
*Combine all the ingredients in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat.
*Stir with wooden spoon constantly until most of the berries have popped.
*Remove from heat and place in clear bowl (for presentation).
*Let cool in the refrigerator until solid (About 2-3 hours) or make the night prior to the meal.
*Served chilled.
Serves 8-10 big helpings or a few days of left overs.
Enjoy!
Happy Thanksgiving
