[Recipe] Phoenix's Spicy & Tart Cranberries!
Phoenix's Spicy & Tart Cranberries!
Sugars & Acids:
1/4 C 100% cranberry Juice (or any other acidic juice -- I used cranpeach I had in my freezer)
1/4 C Orange Juice + juice of the orange you use to zest
1/2 C raw sugar
1/2 C honey (I used The Hidden Alchemist's blackberry honey)
Spices:
zest strips of a medium orange (cut into skinny strips)
1 cinnamon stick
1/2 tsp allspice
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
optional 1 TB cranberry hot pepper jelly (I used ,a href="https://www.micks.com/">Micks Peppourri from Pike Place Market)
Cranberries: I used half of a 2# bag of Ocean Spray cranberries and I'll freeze the other half to use at Yule!
3 cups of fresh cranberries, rinsed and drained (frozen whole cranberries are fine too)
INSTRUCTIONS
Combine the OJ, cranberry juice, sugar and honey in a 2-quart saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil and then reduce the heat to medium-low, add in spices (cinnamon, all spice, nutmeg, zest, optional pepper jelly) and simmer for 5 minutes.
Add the cranberries, stir and cook for 12 MINUTES ONLY, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries burst and the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and allow to sit for 5 min.
Remove cinnamon stick and then scoop mixture into a mold, glass jar, bowl or whatever you wish that is high heat resistant. Cover and chill (fridge) for at least 6 hours (overnight is better). Serve and enjoy!
