We used to have cranberries out of a can at Thanksgiving when I was little.  I wasn’t a fan then and decided when I got old enough to make my own Thanksgiving Dinner, I would make my own…these are so tart and yummy and perfect I make them every year.  And they are DELISH on leftover sandwiches. So make them for Turkey Day to boil reduce  or whenever!! (these can be made night before)

Bring to a boil the following:

1 cup of water

2 cups of sugar (I use 1 1/2 to make is less sweet and more tart)

1 cinnemon stick

5 whole cloves

after brought to a boil reduce heat and simmer for 5 min.

-take out cloves

-add 2 peeled and chopped granny smith apples

-add 5 cups of fresh whole cranberries

-let simmer over med heat until cranberries start to pop

-grate in peel of 1 orange

-when cranberries have all popped remove cinnamon stick

-pour into dish and refrigerate  Serve cold
