How to Make Apricot Cranberry Conserve

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 4 cups sugar and 1 cup water.
  2. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves completely.
  3. Once the sugar is dissolved, continue to boil rapidly for 5 minutes, without stirring.
  4. Reduce the heat to medium. Add 2 cups fresh or frozen cranberries and boil for 3-4 minutes, or until the berries begin to pop, stirring occasionally.
  5. Gently stir in 2 cups dried apricots (chopped) and 1/2 cup orange marmalade.
  6. Remove from heat. If the conserve is too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons of water at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
  7. Let the conserve cool slightly before transferring it to sterilized jars (for storage) or serving it immediately.
  8. Serve warm or chilled. Enjoy!
