Ingredients
- 1 Green Apple diced finely
- 1 Honey Crisp Apple diced finely
- 1 Large Orange zested and juiced
- 1 Large Lemon zested and juiced
- 24 Ounces Cranberries (two 12 ounce bags) rinsed well
- 1 ¼ Cups Sugar
- 1 Cup Water
- 3 Ounces Bourbon
Instructions
- To make this Bourbon-Infused Cranberry Apple Sauce, start by dicing the green apple and honeycrisp apple into small pieces. Zest and juice the orange and lemon, and set everything aside.
- Add the cranberries, sugar, and water to a large pot and place it over medium heat. Cook for 7–8 minutes, or until the cranberry skins begin to pop open.
- Once the cranberries have burst, add the diced apples, orange zest and juice, and lemon zest and juice. Stir everything together and continue cooking for about 15 minutes.
- Pour in the bourbon, reduce the heat to low, and cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until the mixture has thickened.
- Remove the pot from the heat and let the sauce cool completely. It will continue to thicken as it cools.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
