Cranberries *

Serves: 8

Ingredients

• 1 pound fresh cranberries, washed and dried
• 2 cups granulated sugar or Xylitol
• 1/3 cup water
• 1 cinnamon stick
• 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 orange, zested and juiced

Instructions
In a medium pot, combine the cranberries, sugar and water. Stir to blend. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat. 

Reduce to a simmer and add the cinnamon stick, allspice and nutmeg. Stir to blend and simmer for an additional 5 to 7 minutes. Some of the cranberries will burst and some will remain whole. 

Add the orange juice and zest, stir and allow to cool before serving.

This freezes really well too!
