Moroccan Spiced Cranberries

/

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups (6 ounces) fresh cranberries, frozen cranberries may be substituted

  • 2 dried apricots, chopped

  • 2 tablespoons golden raisins

  • 1/2 teaspoon orange zest

  • 1/4 cup water to start; add more as needed

  • 1 pinch ground cumin

  • 1 pinch ground cardamom

  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar

  • 1⁄1/4 teaspoon Kosher salt

Procedure:

  • Add the cumin, cardamom, and sugar into a pot that is large enough to hold all of the ingredients for the recipe. Heat over medium heat until the spices become fragrant.

  • Add the 1/4 cup water and salt, heat until the salt and sugar are completely dissolved.

  • Add the cranberries, apricots, orange zest and raisins, stir to combine and coat everything well. Cook over low heat until the fruit is very soft, stirring occasionally, between 5 - 10 minutes.

  • Add an additional 1/4 cup of water if the pot becomes dry, the extra liquid will become a syrup as the fruit cooks.

  • When the fruit is cooked and soft, season with salt and sugar to taste. If it is too tart, add 1 - 2 teaspoons sugar and a pinch of salt. The salt will bring out the sweetness of the fruit.
