Equipment

Ingredients

  • 3 cups cranberries* (345 grams)
  • 1 ½ cups apple , peeled and diced (180 grams)
  • cup granulated sugar (80 grams)
  • ¾ cup water (190 milliliters)
  • ¼ teaspoon salt , or to taste

Instructions

Step 1: Add Ingredients to Pot

  • Peel and dice the apple. Smaller pieces of apple are better as they cook faster and will break down into the sauce easily.
    1 ½ cups apple
  • Add all ingredients to a medium sized pot.
    3 cups cranberries*, ⅓ cup granulated sugar, ¾ cup water, ¼ teaspoon salt, 1 ½ cups apple

Step 2: Cook and Serve

  • Bring the sauce to a boil over high heat, then lower the heat to medium low and cook the cranberry sauce until it’s thickened (stirring regularly). This takes about 10 minutes after the sauce is brought to a boil.
  • Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning/ sugar to your liking.
  • To serve the sauce hot, cool for 10 minutes then serve. Otherwise, chill in the fridge and serve cold.
