1medium-size orange or meyer lemongrated zest and juice
1large honey crisp applepeeled, grated
½cuphoney
pinchof Alaskan alder smoked salt or finishing salt of your choice
½cuptoasted chopped pecansoptional
Instructions
In medium saucepan, over medium heat, combine water, sugar, cranberries, orange zest and juice, apple and half the honey; bring to a boil.
Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes, stirring mixture occasionally, pressing cranberries with the back of your spoon against the side of the pan insuring all have popped.
Taste and add additional honey to your desired sweetness. (I use the whole half-cup if using the Meyer lemon instead of an orange).
Simmer until the mixture is thickened. Cool.
Stir in salt and pecans, if desired.
Notes
For a nice gift pour into sterilized jars while still hot. Seal and wrap with a decorative ribbon.
