The Very Best Cranberry Conserve! Homemade and Simple! Easy for Busy Moms :)




As women in charge of the households and lives of many, we cannot spend all day in the political realm trying to save the world!
Back to the kitchen's we must go...to love and serve! Thanks be to God! 
So, in the spirit of love, 
let me share with you another one of my favorite recipes! 


My favorite Cranberry Conserve is by Ina Garten @ Food Network! 


I found this recipe years ago and have such rave reviews from family and friends that I serve it without fail at every Thanksgiving gathering! 

It is rich with cranberry taste, yet chunky and full of sweet, nutty flavorings!  It is as simple as throwing the ingredients together and letting them meld over heat. Chill and serve! 

You will LOVE this and so will your GUESTS!!
Enjoy! 

Ingredients  Makes 4 cups-I always double it! 

  • 1 (12-ounce) bag of fresh cranberries, cleaned
  • 1 3/4 cups sugar
  • Granny Smith apple, peeled, cored, and chopped
  • 1 orange, zest grated and juiced
  • 1 lemon, zest grated and juiced
  • 3/4 cup raisins
  • 3/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans

Directions

Cook the cranberries, sugar, and 1 cup of water in a saucepan over low heat for about 5 minutes, or until the skins pop open. Add the apple, zests, and juices and cook for 15 more minutes. Remove from the heat and add the raisins and nuts. Let cool, and serve chilled.
