Apple Cranberry Sauce

Yield: 2 cups or 6 servings

Ingredients:

• 4 dried dates, pitted or 1 c . real maple syrup
• 1 large orange or 1/4 c . fresh orange juice
• 12 ounces fresh cranberries
• 1 Pink Lady apples, peeled, cored and diced (try Braeburn, Gala, Fuji, or Granny Smith. Softer apples like Macintosh will just disintegrate.)
• 1/3 - 1/2 cup water
• Pinch sea salt
• clove, anise, and ginger
• chopped nuts - walnuts
• 4 whole cloves
• 1-2 sticks cinnamon
• 1 tsp . orange zest
• 1 small jalapeño, stemmed and thinly sliced

Directions:

1. Place dates in small bowl and cover with boiling water and soak about 10 minutes.
2. Drain.
3. Place dates in a food processor; purée until smooth.
4. Using a peeler, remove the peel from the orange, taking off as little of the white pith as possible. Cut the peel into very thin strips about 1 1/2 inches long.
5. Squeeze the juice from the orange.
6. Rinse the cranberries in a colander and pick out any mushy ones. 
7. Simmer all ingredients for 10 minutes.
8. Stir in orange zest and add orange twist and serve.
9. Store in refrigerator for 5 to 7 days.
