Preparation

  • Rinse the cranberries and remove any damaged ones. If they’re frozen, no need to thaw them.
  • In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, add the cranberries, apple, maple syrup, cider, orange zest, cinnamon, star anise, rosemary, pepper and salt. Stir.
  • Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to medium-low.
  • Simmer for 12 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries have burst and the apple is tender. The sauce should still be a little runny.
  • Remove from the heat. Take out the cinnamon stick, star anise and rosemary. Mash some of the cranberries with the back of a spoon, leaving a few whole. Add the rum.
  • Let cool for 15 minutes in the saucepan, then transfer to a jar or airtight container. The sauce thickens as it cools.
