How to Make Apple Orange Cranberry Sauce

1. Juice the orange and zest the peel. Set aside the juice and zest separately.
2. Remove the white pith from the orange zest using a vegetable peeler or paring knife. Finely dice the zest.
3. In a small saucepan, combine the diced orange zest and 1/2 cup of water. Bring to a boil over high heat.
4. Reduce heat to medium and simmer for 10 minutes. Drain and set aside the zest.
5. Peel, core, and dice the apples into 1/2-inch pieces.
6. In a medium saucepan, combine the diced apples, cranberries, orange juice, blanched orange zest, sugar, cinnamon, and cloves.
7. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low.
8. Partially cover the saucepan and simmer gently, stirring occasionally, for 10-15 minutes, or until the apples are tender, the cranberries have burst, and the sauce has thickened.
9. Remove from heat and let cool slightly before transferring to a heatproof bowl.
10. Cool completely (about 1 hour) before covering and refrigerating for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld. Bring to room temperature before serving.
