Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces Fresh cranberries
- 1 cup Dried cranberries
- 1 cup Unsweetened cranberry juice
- 1 teaspoon Orange zest
- 1 cup Orange juice
- 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cloves
- 0.5 cup Chopped pecans (optional)
Instructions
Rinse the fresh cranberries thoroughly under running water and discard any mushy or damaged berries.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the fresh cranberries, dried cranberries, cranberry juice, orange juice, and orange zest.
Stir in the granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and ground cloves.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the cranberries burst and the mixture thickens to your desired consistency.
If using, stir in the chopped pecans during the last 2 minutes of cooking.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the conserve cool to room temperature.
Transfer the conserve to sterilized jars or airtight containers and refrigerate. It will thicken further as it cools.
Serve chilled or at room temperature. This conserve pairs beautifully with toast, muffins, or roasted turkey and pork.
