APPLE-CARDAMOM CRANBERRY SAUCE-1

This simple cranberry sauce is full of flavor without all of the sugar! Use a microplane grater for finely grating the fresh ginger. Serve cranberry sauce with a whole roasted turkey on Thanksgiving.

Ingredients

I made this for Thanksgiving and received rave reviews.

I used organic cranberries and 2 organic honey crisp apples. And to save me from having to buy apple juice which I don't keep on hand or normally drink, I got a build-your-own kid's meal from Chipolte and chose a box of organic apple juice for the drink. The juice box was about an ounce less than what the recipe called for but it came out fine.

While I like cardamom, 1/2 tsp. sounded like a lot to me and I was afraid not all of my guests would like it. And then I chickened out of adding any cardamom to the recipe when I tasted the thickened cranberry sauce and really liked it as was without it.

I used a potato masher while cooking the cranberries and apples and it came out thick with a little texture.

The fresh ginger added a nice kick. Multiple guests raved about this cranberry sauce. I will make it again.

Loved this! I used 16 oz cranberries, one huge honeycrisp apple, apple cider instead of juice, doubled the liquid with 1 cup cabernet wine and added cinnamon sticks.

This cranberry relish was a nice change from the traditional cranberry and orange relish. It was tangy and a great consistency! Perfect with our turkey!

Totally delicious! I used Fuji apples and frozen cranberries. My extended family loved it and has requested we keep the recipe for Thanksgiving next year.
