I posted this recipe a few years ago. It is so yummy and you can control the sugar which I love! Making it yourself tastes SO much better and it also saves some serious green. Oh and not too mention way better for you as well!
If you don't like apricots you may want to try canned pears!
This can be made ahead of time too, which I love I make it this week so there is one less thing I have to do on Turkey Day!
I made this cranberry sauce last year and we all loved it so much that we decided it HAS to be a tradition in our house. It is really yummy and I love that I can control what goes in like SUGAR! No artificial dyes either!
Open up the can of apricots, reserving the syrup.
Add water to the syrup to make 1 cup. Chop the apricots and set aside.
While you are in the chopping groove, peel up the apple and chop it up too!
Remove from heat; stir in apricots cool slightly then refrigerate covered for up to two weeks.

I made a double batch today and
will store it in the fridge for about 2 weeks. If I was more organized
I would have made it last week, but I don't really have a good plan
yet. Someday maybe I will. I am getting better each year! Hey, at
least it is early! Yay!
Our
family loves this recipe, and because it is so good I thought I would
share it with you. Honestly it has to be simple in order for me to like
a new recipe. Secondly I have everything on hand that this recipe
calls for except maybe the cranberries. But what you buy you use so
that is another plus. I hate trying out a new recipe and I have to go
out and buy a bunch of food items that I will only use for that recipe
and then I don't even use it all! What a waste.
Here are the tasty goods:
Cranberry Sauce
1 can (about 15.25 oz) Apricot halves
1 bag (12 0z) fresh cranberries
1 fresh apple, peeled and chopped
3/4 cup sugar (if you want less or more adjust to your taste)
2 tsp ground ginger
Open up the can of apricots, reserving the syrup.
Add water to the syrup to make 1 cup. Chop the apricots and set aside.
While you are in the chopping groove, peel up the apple and chop it up too!
Wash the cranberries and pick out any ugly or mushy ones.
In a sauce pan add syrup, cranberries, sugar, apple, and ginger and on medium heat bring to a boil. Stirring on and off the cranberries will start to get frothie when boiling so don't get too hot.
Reduce the heat and simmer uncovered for 15 to 20 minutes or until most of the cranberries have burst.

They split in half or crack open like this when they burst.
