CHARSKI'S CRANBERRY SAUCE

By scottsdalejulie

Ingredients

• Charski's Cranberry Jalapeno Sauce
• This is great stuff, last year, I didn't make it and there was almost war at my house.
• Even If You Do Not Normally Cook With Jalapenos...
• ...you should try Char's Cranberry Jalapeno Sauce. I was a little afraid of it, but I cut out all the seeds and membrane as Char suggested and the end result was the best cranberry sauce I've ever had. DH was blown away.
• Here's the recipe and I might even up the jalapeno flavor next time.
• Char's Cranberry Jalapeno Sauce
• 1 pound cranberries, frozen is fine
• 1/2 cup SF syrup (Char recommends orange, raspberry, pineapple or lime)
• Juice of 1 fresh lime
• 1/4 cup minced onion
• 1/2 to 1 fresh jalapeno, minced (remove seeds and membrane if you want it milder
• 1 tablespoon SF honey or maple syrup or Agave syrup
• 2 packets Splenda or NuStevia
• Combine everything in a 2-quart dish and microwave on high 3 minutes; stir. Microwave another 3 minutes; stir. Then microwave 1-2 minutes until it thickens up a bit. Let cool, then refrigerate overnight to let the flavors develop.
• A couple of notes: I covered the bowl with plastic wrap and vented it when I microwaved it. And I used a little more sweetener than the recipe called for - just personal preference.
• Also, I wasn't sure if it was supposed to be served hot or cold, but found that we like it both ways, which is nice. I think I have a slight preference for it hot.
• I now have frozen cranberries in the freezer for the next time we have turkey, chicken, or ham.
