A  perfect companion for meat.​

​

I feel like cranberry sauce is something you cannot forget during the holiday season, it just has to be part of the Holiday table. Last year I made â€‹a citrus cranberry sauce that was really delicious and if you want to check it out, you can find it here. This year I wanted to make something different and so I decided to make my cranberry sauce with apple and lime. This combination makes this apple cranberry sauce also perfect for desserts, just adjust the amount of sugar.

​

I used to always buy my cranberry sauce until last year. I always thought it is an unnecessary hassel which I don't need during the holidays. But now that I have made it myself, I realize it is absolutely hassle free, really easy to make and you can make it so much more flavourful and versatile, when you are making it yourself. Oh, and it also makes a great homemade gift for the Holidays :)

​

My favourite way to use cranberry sauce is on a side of some white meat or for gravy to add a bit more flavour. What is your favourite way to use cranberry sauce?

Happy Holidays Lovelies! Enjoy the Food!

DIRECTIONS

  1. Wash the apples well, de-seed and cube them roughly.

  2. Soften the lime a little with the palm of your hand, peel the skin off and juice the lime.

  3. Add the lime skin and juice, the brown sugar, the cubed apples and the cranberries to a small pot.

  4. Transfer the pot to heat and cook over medium heat until the apples have softened and disappeared in the cranberry sauce. Make sure to mix once in a while for even cooking

  5. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly and then strain the sauce to remove the apple and lime skins.

  6. Allow to cool completely.

  7. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 10-14 days. You can also freeze the cranberry sauce if you want it to last longer.
