Apple Cranberry Conserve Recipe

Ingredients for Apple Cranberry Conserve

• 2 cups fresh or frozen cranberries
• 4 cups peeled, cored, and chopped apples (about 4 medium)
• Granulated Sugar

How to Make Apple Cranberry Conserve

1. Combine apples, cranberries, sugar, lemon juice, and water in a large saucepan over medium heat.
2. Bring mixture to a boil, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
3. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the mixture has thickened slightly. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
4. Remove from heat and carefully ladle the conserve into sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4 inch of headspace.
5. Wipe the rims of the jars clean, seal with lids and rings, and process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes (adjust time based on your altitude; refer to a canning guide for specifics).
6. Remove jars from the canner and let cool completely. You should hear a satisfying 'pop' as the jars seal.
7. Once cool, check seals. Store sealed jars in a cool, dark place for up to a year.
