Categories     Sauces

Time 25m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 1/2 cups white sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 cup apple cider
1 (12 ounce) package cranberries

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients in a saucepan.
  • Bring to a boil over medium high heat.
  • Reduce heat and simmer on medium low heat for 20 minutes or until cranberries pop, stirring occasionally.

Tips:

  • Use fresh cranberries. Fresh cranberries are the best choice for this recipe, as they have a tart flavor that pairs well with the sweetness of the apples and cider. If you can't find fresh cranberries, you can use frozen cranberries, but be sure to thaw them before using.
  • Use a variety of apples. This recipe calls for a combination of Granny Smith and Honeycrisp apples. Granny Smith apples are tart and crisp, while Honeycrisp apples are sweet and juicy. You can use other varieties of apples, but be sure to use a mix of tart and sweet apples.
  • Don't overcook the cranberries. Cranberries only need to be cooked for a few minutes, until they are softened but still hold their shape. If you overcook them, they will become mushy.
  • Let the sauce cool completely before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together and the sauce to thicken.
  • Serve the sauce warm or cold. Apple cider cranberry sauce is delicious served warm or cold. If you are serving it warm, reheat it gently over low heat until it is warmed through.

Conclusion:

Apple cider cranberry sauce is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be enjoyed with a variety of dishes. It is perfect for Thanksgiving dinner, but it can also be enjoyed all year round. With its tart and sweet flavor, apple cider cranberry sauce is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
