Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Rinse the fresh cranberries under cold water and remove any stems or spoiled berries. Peel and core the apple, then chop it into small pieces.

Cooking

  1. 2

    Cook the Cranberries

    In a large saucepan, combine the rinsed cranberries, water, granulated sugar, brown sugar, orange juice, orange zest, chopped apple, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir well to combine.

  2. 3

    Simmer the Mixture

    Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the cranberries have burst and the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency.

Cooling

  1. 4

    Cool and Serve

    Remove the saucepan from heat and let the cranberry sauce cool to room temperature. Transfer the sauce to a serving bowl or container and refrigerate until ready to serve. The flavors will deepen as it cools.
