Who has time to make homemade chunky cranberry sauce ?
You do!
Simmered with sugar, citrus juices and a fresh granny smith apple, it’s the perfect compliment to all your Holiday dishes, from turkey to ice cream and cake.
Nuts are optional. (For variety, just add nuts to half the sauce and offer your family cranberry sauce either with or without nuts.)
Simmer cranberries, water and sugar until skins start to pop, about five minutes.
Next, stir in juices, zests and apples. Cook on low another fifteen minutes, then remove from heat and add in nuts if you like. Â The cranberry sauce will thicken naturally as it cools.
Garnish with extra orange zest, orange slices and Dig In!
