Cranberry Walnut Conserve Food

CRANBERRY, APPLE, AND WALNUT CONSERVE

Steps:

• Simmer water, sugar, cinnamon stick, allspice, and half of cranberries (about 5 1/2 cups) in a 4- to 5-quart heavy pot over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until cranberries just start to pop, about 5 minutes. Add half of remaining cranberries (about 3 cups) and simmer, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, peel and core apples, then cut into 1/4-inch dice. Add to cranberry mixture along with walnuts and remaining cranberries, then simmer, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes. Stir in Calvados and simmer 1 minute. Remove from heat and cool to warm or room temperature. Discard cinnamon stick.

CRANBERRY CONSERVE

Steps:

• Just cover cranberries with fresh cold water and bring to a boil, cooking until berries are soft. Add the sugar, orange pulp, and raisins, and simmer slowly until thick. Add the nut meats. Continue cooking for 5 more minutes. May be served warm or chilled.

CRANBERRY FRUIT CONSERVE

Steps:

• Cook the cranberries, sugar, and 1 cup of water in a saucepan over low heat for about 5 minutes, or until the skins pop open. Add the apple, zests, and juices and cook for 15 more minutes. Remove from the heat and add the raisins and nuts. Let cool, and serve chilled.

CRANBERRY ORANGE RELISH WITH WALNUTS RECIPE

Steps:

• In a colander, rinse the cranberries under water. Pick out any squishy or rotten cranberries. Add to the food processor bowl.
• Wash the orange. Leave the orange unpeeled. (Yes, keep the rind on.) Chop into chunks so that it fits into the food processor more easily. Add the orange to the food processor bowl.
• Drizzle in the honey. Add the walnuts.
• If desired, add the vanilla extract. This gives the relish an orange-vanilla flavor. I like it, but it may not be what you're looking for.
• Put the lid on the food processor bowl. Pulse in quick pulses. You want everything to start breaking down to the size of large crumbs. Don't let it go too far or it will turn into mush. It's okay to have a little texture, but you probably don't want the pieces too big. Use your judgment.
• Store for up to a week in the refrigerator.
