That\u2019s why they\u2019re combined with sugars and corn syrups, binders, and preservatives before being molded into the shape of a can.<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/esA3m_8ymrg?fs=1\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p><strong>Rather than eating what the cranberry cannery is serving up<\/strong>, I choose to make my own cranberry sauce with ingredients that I like. Apples will add a natural sweetness to the tart cranberries while contributing a special flavor to the otherwise one-dimensional side dish.<\/p>\n<p><strong>After peeling 3 Granny Smith Apples and cutting them into cubes<\/strong>, I add a 6 ounce bag of fresh cranberries, and a \u00bd cup of dried cranberries to a stove-top sauce pan. Under direct heat, the cranberries and apples will release moisture, making a chunky fruit compote.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Perhaps you like your apple cranberry sauce very chunky<\/strong>. That\u2019s fine, you can leave it as is. For me, I prefer a smoother side dish, so the heated fruit is added to my food processor. After a few pulses, I have the texture and consistency I\u2019m looking for.<\/p>\n<p><strong>All I have to do now is adjust seasonings.<\/strong> Keeping with the holiday flavor profile, I like cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice in my new creation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>It\u2019s just that simple to avoid canned cran this holiday season. <\/strong> If you can peel and cut an apple, open a bag of cranberries, and heat the items together until soft, you can create an apple cranberry sauce that will beat the <a href=\"https:\/\/webcookingclasses.com\/carve-turkey\/cooking-basics\">carved turkey<\/a> for the center of the table.<\/p>\n<p>Apples aren\u2019t the only thing you can add to sweeten cranberries.
