Ingredients

  • 12 oz fresh cranberries
  • 1 apple - peeled and cut into small cubes
  • ½ cup sugar
  • ½ cup water
  • Zest from 1 lemon
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ½ tsp kosher salt
  • ¼ tsp ground nutmeg

Instructions

  • Add all ingredients to a small saucepan and mix together until evenly combined and the sugar is mostly dissolved.
  • Heat over medium-high heat until the liquid just begins to bubble. Reduce the heat to low and cover to simmer.

  • Simmer for another 10-20 minutes uncovered until the cranberries sauce reaches desired thickness
