\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I happened to have some frozen cranberries in the house so I used them to make fresh cranberry sauce, which always tastes better (and usually uses better ingredients) than the canned version. If your freezer isn\u2019t stocked and cranberries are out of season, however, you may use canned sauce.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Ingredients:<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

2 tablespoons cider vinegar<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

2 tablespoons sugar<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

the juice of 1 large lime (or 2 small ones)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

2 cups chopped apple (2 large apples, more or less; core them, but don\u2019t peel them)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

1 cup cranberry sauce, preferably homemade<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

1 small red onion, peeled and finely chopped<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

1 jalape\u00f1o pepper, carefully stemmed, seeded and chopped (if you like things spicy, use more; if you don\u2019t, use a milder pepper)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

several sprigs of fresh cilantro, chopped<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

1 pinch salt<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Directions:<\/span><\/span><\/em>
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 In a small saucepan, combine the vinegar, sugar, and lime juice. Bring the liquid to a boil, and stir in half of the chopped apple pieces. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Return the mixture to the boil, cover the pan, reduce the heat, and simmer until the apples almost soften (this will happen very quickly, in about 5 minutes). Mash the apples until they are soft but still have a little texture. Remove the mixture from the heat, and stir in the cranberry sauce. Let cool for 10 minutes.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Stir in the remaining apple plus the onion, pepper, cilantro, and salt. Let the mixture sit for at least half an hour to allow the flavors to blend. Serve with tortilla chips or as a condiment to accompany meat, vegetables, or fish. You may refrigerate any leftovers for up to 3 days. Makes about 2-1\/2 cups.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
