Cider Cranberry Sauce Recipes

JELLIED CRANBERRY SAUCE WITH HARD CIDER

Steps:

• Combine the cider, sugar, apple, allspice berries, peppercorns and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil and cook, stirring once, until the apple starts to fall apart and the liquid is syrupy, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Add the cranberries and cook, stirring and skimming the foam off the top until the berries burst, 6 to 8 minutes. Let cool slightly, then transfer to a blender and puree until almost smooth.
• Strain through a medium-mesh sieve into a bowl, pressing on the solids; smooth the top. Let cool 30 minutes, then cover and refrigerate until set, at least 2 hours.
