Ingredients

2 cups fresh cranberries
1/2 cup finely chopped red onion
1 1/2 cups apple cider
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
3 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon frozen orange juice concentrate
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/8 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground pepper to taste

Steps:

Place the cranberries, onion and cider in a medium-size saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the cranberries are soft, about 5 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a food processor and process until smooth. Scrape the mixture back into the saucepan.
Stir in the balsamic vinegar, honey, orange juice concentrate, cinnamon, cardamom, salt and pepper. Simmer until the mixture is thickened, about 20 minutes. Let cool. Store, tightly covered, in the refrigerator.
