Ingredients

  • 3 cups whole cranberries fresh or frozen
  • 1 large quince cored and chopped
  • 1 cup apple juice
  • 1 cup liquid honey
  • ½ cup dried Goji berries
  • 2 Tablespoons bourbon
  • ¼ teaspoon fresh ground nutmeg optional

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. 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.
  2. Stir in the honey and continue to cook for 15 more minutes, stirring frequently. The quince will soften yet keep their shape.
  3. Add the goji berries, bourbon and nutmeg. Cook for 2 additional minutes. Turn off heat. Spoon into clean jars and cool completely.
  4. Cover with lids and store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. Alternatively, label and freeze for up to 6 months.
Variations:
  1. 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.
