Cranberry sauce/ relish

If you did not purchase a cranberry sauce yet for your Thanksgiving dinner this easy recipe will help.

You will need:

6 cups of fresh cranberries

3 medium size apples

2 cups sugar

2 table spoons water

1 table spoon of lemon juice

2 table spoons brandy

Prepare the fruits: wash cranberries and discard all berries that have the signs of spoiling. Peel your apples, core it and chop into small cubes, about 1/2".

Place cranberries, apples, sugar and water into a wide stainless still pot, cook on a medium heat stirring often to avoid burning on a bottom.

Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and cook about 10 minutes longer. Add some lemon juice, fold it into the sauce and cook 5 more minutes. Carefully add brandy, stir and bring to a boil. It is ready to be served, hot or chilled - perfect for  your turkey!

I like to smash the berries during cooking to get a thicker jam like consistency, but it is up to you. I also like to use gin instead of brandy, either will work.

Have a happy Thanksgiving!
