Cranberry Sauce

Getting fresh cranberries here is difficult. They are not common in our cuisine. You get the dried sweetened ones everywhere. But fresh, very rare.
Since it was 3 days to Thanksgiving my big supermarket had just one package of 200 g fresh berries sitting in the berry fridge.

I bought the one and few ingredients I needed for the sauce. Fresh orange juice and an apple.

I spent a couple of Thanksgivings in Florida over the years and had my fill of turkeys. I remember one time we bought the fresh cranberries from Ocean Spray at the Publix Supermarket in Miami Beach. I had no idea how prepare the classic sauce. But help was just one phone call away in Virginia. Monika gave me her recipe and the sauce turned out well.

I had to go through my memory to get back to the recipe after so many years. But it worked out well.

Recipe:
200g fresh cranberries
150 ml fresh orange juice
1 clove
One small or 1/2 of a big apple with skin
8 tbsp dark muscovado sugar

Toss it all in a pot and bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer until the berries are popped.
Use a fork and mash them a little.
Put in a jar and keep in the fridge.
