Instructions
Combine all of the ingredients in a medium saucepan over medium high heat.
12 oz cranberries, 1 large apple, 1 cup brown sugar, ¾ cup apple cider, 1 tablespoon bourbon, 2 tablespoon cinnamon, 1 teaspoon ground ginger, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, ½ teaspoon cardamom, ½ teaspoon salt
Bring to a boil, stirring every couple of minutes. Then reduce the heat to medium low and allow the mixture to simmer for 15 minutes, stirring every couple of minutes.
Once the liquids have reduced by at least half, remove from the heat and allow the cranberry sauce to set up.
Serve immediately, refrigerate or freeze. (See notes for refrigeration and freezing instructions.)
