Ingredients

6 fresh or 2 dry bay leaves
8 to 10 cloves
8 to 10 allspice berries or juniper berries
2 to 4 sprigs of thyme
2 shallots, minced
2 tablespoons canola oil
2 green apples, peeled and diced
4 tablespoons sherry vinegar
2 cups lingonberry preserves

Steps:

Tie up the bay leaves, cloves, allspice or juniper and thyme in a piece of cheesecloth.
Pour the canola oil into a pan over medium heat and cook shallots, stirring occasionally, until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the apples, and sauté briefly, then pour in the vinegar and stir to dissolve any brown bits in the pan.
Add the lingonberry preserves and the spice sachet. Cook gently on a low simmer for 10 minutes. Cool, and remove the sachet before serving.
