Ingredients
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 12 oz cranberries fresh
- 2 apples peeled, cored and thinly sliced
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- ½ cup ruby port wine
- 1 large orange zested and juiced
Instructions
- In a non-stick pan over a medium heat and add the sugar. Let it melt (without stirring) until it turns a rich caramel color. It will take about 3-5 minutes.
- Add the cranberries and salt, gently stir to combine with a rubber spatula. Cook the cranberries until they just start to soften.
- Now add the thinly sliced apples and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes. Using a rubber spatula, stir to coat all the fruit in the caramel sauce.
- Add in the port, reduce the heat to low, then zest the orange and juice it. Bring to a simmer and cook for an additional 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, so that some of the cranberries and apples break down completely and thicken the sauce. I use a spoon and gently break up the apples if needed.
- Transfer to a serving dish. If not serving immediately, cool and keep in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. Warm on low heat before serving.
