Ingredients: 8 oz bag of fresh cranberries (or you can use previously frozen fresh cranberries); ½ cup light brown sugar; ¼ cup granulated sugar; 1 cup apple cider (natural); 1 small granny smith apple (pealed and finely chopped); 1 teaspoon cinnamon; 1 whole star anise; 5 cardamom pods (or more, just make sure you count so you can find them all!); ½ teaspoon fresh tangerine zest (bright orange parts only)

Matthew’s Recipes

In a small sauce pot heat the cranberries, sugar, and apple cider over medium-high heat until the cranberries pop.

Add the remaining ingredients and simmer for 30 minutes. Remove the star anise. You could stop cooking it at this point but I like to cook my cranberry sauce at least an hour.

After an additional 30 minutes remove your cardamom pods (make sure you get them all!!) and allow to cool or serve warm.
