Spiced cranberries with lemon zest, cinnamon stick, lemon juice and cloves.

Ingredients:

  • 4 cups cranberries
  • 1 tablespoon grated lemon zest
  • 2 1/2 cups sugar
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 cinnamon stick, about 3 1/2" long
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves

Preparation:

Pick over the cranberries, discarding any soft ones. Set them aside.

Combine the lemon zest with the sugar in a food processor and twirl until the zest is finely grated (or grate zest by hand and add to the sugar).

In a large saucepan, combine the zest and sugar with the water, cinnamon stick, lemon juice, and cloves. Bring to a boil and cook for 5 minutes. Add the cranberries and boil for 12 to 15 minutes, until a thick sauce has formed. Set aside to cool.

When cool, refrigerate until ready to serve. (It will keep for a week in the refrigerator, or you can freeze it.)

Makes 3 1/2 to 4 cups.
