Ingredients:
- 12 oz (340g) raw fresh cranberries, rinsed and stemmed
- 1 cup (150g) Granny Smith apple, finely diced
- 1/2 cup (75g) raisins
- 1/2 cup (100g) packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup (120ml) apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup (60ml) fresh orange juice
- 1 tbsp (15g) fresh ginger, finely grated
- 1 tsp (5g) ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp (1g) ground cloves
- 1 tbsp (6g) fresh orange zest
Instructions:
- Zest the orange and juice it. Finely dice the apple into uniform pieces and grate the ginger using a microplane.
- Combine the brown sugar and apple cider vinegar in a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Stir constantly until the sugar dissolves into a smooth syrup.
- Add the diced apples and raisins to the syrup, simmering for 3 minutes to soften.
- Fold in the raw cranberries, orange juice, ginger, cinnamon, and cloves.
- Increase heat to a gentle boil, then immediately reduce to low. Simmer for 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries begin to pop and the liquid reduces to a thick, syrupy glaze.
- Stir in the orange zest during the final 30 seconds of cooking to preserve the bright citrus oils.
