Ingredients:
- 3 to 4 pounds of peeled, cored, roughly chopped Granny Smith apples (or other good cooking apple such as Golden Delicious, Fuji, Jonathan, Mcintosh, or Gravenstein)
- 1 1/2 cups to 2 cups fresh or frozen cranberries
- 2 Tbsp lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup of brown sugar
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
1 Place all of the ingredients in a large (5-quart) pot. Bring to a boil, lower heat to a simmer and cover. Cook 20-30 minutes, or until the apples can easily be mashed.
2 Remove from heat. Mash the apples and cranberries with a potato masher to the consistency you want.
Serve hot as a side to pork or turkey. Or serve hot or cold as a dessert with some vanilla ice cream.
Store in the refrigerator for a couple of weeks. Or freeze for up to a year.
Makes 1 1/2 to 2 quarts.
