Ingredients

  • Ingredients
    1. Two 12-ounce bags fresh or frozen cranberries (6 cups)
    2. 2 cups apple cider
    3. 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
    4. 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
    5. 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
    6. 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom

Directions

  1. In a large saucepan, combine the cranberries and apple cider with the cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg and cardamom and bring to a boil. Cook over moderately high heat, coarsely mashing the berries with a wooden spoon, until the sauce is softened and jamlike, about 5 minutes. Serve warm, at room temperature or chilled.
