Cranberry-Chipotle Fruit Conserve Recipe

  • 1 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 cup chopped dried apricots
  • 1/2 cup chopped dried peaches
  • 1/3 cup sweetened dried cranberries
  • 2 garlic cloves, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 16 ounces fresh cranberries (about 4 cups)
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons chopped canned chipotle chiles
  1. Combine maple syrup, 1/2 cup water, and vinegar in heavy medium saucepan. Bring to boil over medium-high heat. Add all dried fruit, garlic, and salt; cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add fresh cranberries and chipotle chiles; bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low; cover and simmer until cranberries pop and mixture thickens, stirring occasionally, about 12 minutes. Transfer to bowl. Cover and refrigerate overnight. (Can be made 1 week ahead. Keep refrigerated. Bring to room temperature before serving.)
  2. Chipotle chiles canned in a spicy tomato sauce that is sometimes called adobo are available at Latin American markets, specialty foods stores, and some supermarkets.
