How to Make Chunky Apple Rhubarb Sauce With Dried Cranberries

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the chopped apples, rhubarb, red onion (if using), apple juice, dried cranberries, honey, and grated ginger.
  2. Bring the mixture to a medium heat, cover, and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 10-12 minutes, or until the rhubarb is tender and the apples are softened but still hold their shape.
  3. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  4. Stir in the apple cider vinegar.
  5. Remove the grated ginger (optional, if you prefer a less intense ginger flavor).
  6. Serve the sauce warm, at room temperature, or chilled. Enjoy on pancakes, waffles, ice cream, or yogurt!
