Ingredients
- 3 cups Cranberry fresh or frozen, whole
- 1 quince cored and chopped, large
- 1 cup apple juice
- 1 cup honey liquid
- ½ cup Goji berries dried
- 2 Tablespoons bourbon
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg optional, fresh ground
Instructions
- Combine cranberries, quince and apple juice in a heavy bottomed medium pot and bring to a boil. Over medium-low heat, cook conserve for ten minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Stir in the honey and continue to cook for 15 more minutes, stirring frequently. The quince will soften yet keep their shape.
- Add the goji berries, bourbon and nutmeg. Cook for 2 additional minutes. Turn off heat. Spoon into clean jars and cool completely.
- Cover with lids and store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. Alternatively, label and freeze for up to 6 months.
Cup of Yum
Variations:
- If quince cannot be found, use a tart apple such as Granny Smith. Walnuts also make a lovely addition, a half of a cup added in with the goji berries.
