What's in Season in New Jersey in Fall - Cranberries
With their vibrant color and unique taste, cranberries are a versatile fall treat.
This recipe, courtesy of Jersey Fresh (findjerseyfresh.com), combines two of fall’s finest treats: cranberries and apples.
Ingredients
For sauce:
- 1 (12-ounce) package of Jersey Fresh cranberries
- 2 large Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and diced
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup sugar
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
For grilled cheese:
- 2 slices of bread (we used sourdough)
- Cheese (we used brie)
- Mayo
- Plus, anything else you like (leftover turkey, stuffing, apple slices, etc.)
Preparation
Place cranberries, apples, water, sugar, and cinnamon in a medium saucepan. Bring it to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer until the cranberries pop and apples are soft, about 20 minutes. Let cool completely before refrigerating.
To make a grilled cheese: Spread mayo on both sides of both slices of bread. Heat a frying pan on medium; place both slices of bread in pan. Toast lightly, then flip both slices.
Add cranberry sauce to one slice of toasted bread. Top sauce with cheese. Top cheese with second slice of bread. Cook until bottom slice of bread is brown. Flip and toast other side until cheese is melty.
