Ingredients
- 2 cups whole fresh cranberries
- 1 cup unpeeled, chopped apples
- 1 ½ cups white sugar
- ¼ cup apple juice
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- ⅛ tsp each cinnamon cloves, allspice, and nutmeg
Instructions
- Combine the apples, whole cranberries, and apple juice in a medium saucepan.
- Allow them to come to a boil over medium-high heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes.
- Add the remaining ingredients to the pot and simmer for an additional 10-15 minutes or until the mixture has reached a jam-like consistency.
- Pour the homemade cranberry sauce into warm, sterilized jars.
- Process for 15-25 minutes, depending on the size of your jar — 15 minutes for half-pints and 25 for pints.
Notes
- Want a smoother sauce? Put the cooked mixture into a food processor and blend. You can then push it through a fine mesh sieve or leave as is.
- Throw everything into your slow cooker instead of using the stovetop. The house will smell incredible!
- Open jars of leftover cranberry sauce should be kept in the fridge and consumed within one month.
