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:
Place dates in small bowl and cover with boiling water and soak about 10 minutes.
Drain.
Place dates in a food processor; purée until smooth.
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.
Squeeze the juice from the orange.
Rinse the cranberries in a colander and pick out any mushy ones.
Simmer all ingredients for 10 minutes.
Stir in orange zest and add orange twist and serve.
