How to Make Cider Cranberry Sauce

  1. Combine cranberries, apple cider, apple, brown sugar, and lemon juice in a medium saucepan.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
  3. Reduce heat to low, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the cranberries have burst and the sauce has thickened. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  4. Remove from heat and let cool slightly before serving. The sauce will thicken further as it cools.
  5. Serve warm or cold with your favorite holiday dishes.
