How to Make Winter Cranberry Ketchup

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over low heat. Add 2 cloves of minced garlic and 1/2 cup chopped onion. Sauté for 10 minutes, until softened.
  2. Stir in 1 (12-ounce) bag fresh or frozen cranberries, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon ground allspice, 1 teaspoon ground coriander, 1/2 cup chopped pitted prunes, and 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar. Bring to a gentle simmer, then reduce heat and cook for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  4. Carefully transfer the cooked mixture to a blender or food processor. Puree until smooth.
  5. Transfer the cranberry ketchup to a container with a tight-fitting lid. Let cool completely before refrigerating.
  6. Store in the refrigerator for up to 30 days.
