APPLE-CRANBERRY SAUCE
This is a simple apple-cranberry sauce. If you eat sugar, you will probably find this recipe way too tart, so adjust to taste. I make applesauce all the time. The great thing about making it from scratch is you can adjust the amount of sugar.

Yield Makes about 3 cups

Steps:
- In a heavy saucepan cook the apples, the cranberries, the sugar, the apple juice or water, the cinnamon stick, and the zest over moderate heat, stirring, for 15 minutes, or until the apples are very soft. Discard the cinnamon stick and the zest, force the apple mixture through the medium disk of a food mill into a bowl, and stir in the butter. Serve the applesauce warm or chilled. The applesauce keeps, covered and chilled, for 1 week.
Tips:
- Choose the right apples: Use firm, tart apples like Granny Smith, Braeburn, or Honeycrisp. These apples will hold their shape and provide a good balance of sweetness and tartness to the applesauce.
- Use fresh cranberries: Fresh cranberries have a brighter flavor than frozen or dried cranberries. If you don't have fresh cranberries, you can use frozen cranberries, but be sure to thaw them before using.
- Add some sweetness: If you like your applesauce sweeter, you can add some sugar or honey to taste. You can also use naturally sweet apples, such as Fuji or Gala apples.
- Add some spices: Cinnamon is a classic spice to add to applesauce, but you can also try other spices like nutmeg, ginger, or cloves. A teaspoon of vanilla extract can add a nice touch of flavor as well.
- Cook it low and slow: The key to making great applesauce is to cook it low and slow. This will allow the apples to soften and release their natural sweetness. Cook the applesauce for at least 30 minutes, or until the apples are very soft.
- Use a food processor or blender: Once the apples are cooked, you can use a food processor or blender to puree them. If you want a smooth applesauce, use a food processor. If you want a chunky applesauce, use a blender.
Conclusion:
Cranberry cinnamon applesauce is a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's also a great way to use up leftover apples and cranberries. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a delicious and healthy applesauce that the whole family will enjoy. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy side dish, give cranberry cinnamon applesauce a try. You won't be disappointed!
