Serves: 10-12
Ingredients
  • 1 12-ounce bag fresh cranberries
  • 1 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 cup apple juice
  • 3 tbsp. freshly squeezed orange juice
  • 1 tbsp. orange zest
  • 1 tsp. cinnamon
  • ½ tsp. cardamom
  • ¼ tsp. allspice
  • ¼ or ⅛ tsp. of cayenne (depending on your spice tolerance)
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 1 tsp. honey
Instructions
  1. Rinse the bag of cranberries and pour into a heavy bottom medium sauce pan. Turn heat on Medium/high. Add your spices and toss to coat the cranberries, cook for a minute. Next add your juices, zest and maple syrup. Stir to combine. Throw your cinnamon stick in. Bring to a boil then reduce heat to low and continue to cook until juices have thickened. This takes about 35 to 50 minutes (the longer you let it cook, the thicker it will become). Once you have your desired consistency, pour into heat proof container. Let cool to room temp then store in the fridge covered for up to two weeks.
