Ingredients
- 5 cups fresh cranberries about two 10-ounce bags
- ½ cup maple syrup
- ½ cup water
- Juice and zest of 2 clementines about 2 tablespoons juice and 2 teaspoons zest
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- Pinch ground cloves
- 3 pounds Gala or Fuji apples cored and chopped into small pieces
Instructions
- In a large saucepan or Dutch oven, combine the cranberries, maple syrup, water, clementine juice and zest, cinnamon, salt, and cloves over medium-high heat. Simmer until the cranberries begin to soften and pop, about 5 minutes.
- Reduce heat to low, and add in the apples. Continue to cook over low heat, stirring frequently to prevent sticking, until the apples are very tender, about 20 minutes. Using a potato masher or immersion blender, blend or mash the applesauce until it's the desired texture.
- Transfer to a covered container, and refrigerate until fully chilled, about four hours.
