Description

This is a deep red, spicy holiday sauce that goes with everything from turkey to toast. Some people eat it with a spoon when you're not looking! This recipe makes enough to last until spring.

Ingredients

2 cups apple cider
1 1/2 cups white sugar
1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons ground allspice
3/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 (12 ounce) bags fresh or frozen cranberries

Directions

1 In a saucepan, stir together the apple cider, white sugar, brown sugar, allspice, cloves, nutmeg and cranberries. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 15 minutes, until most of the cranberries have popped. Continue cooking until the consistency is thick.
2 Ladle into sterile jars to within 1/2 inch of the rim, seal with lids and rings. Process in a simmering water bath for 10 to 15 minutes to seal, or just transfer to containers, cool, and refrigerate. It will last at least a week if it can escape being gobbled up!
