Topping

Katie's Cranberry Sauce
1 12-oz package cranberries
1/2 cup sugar
~1 cup water
1 small apple (granny smith works well), finely chopped
1-2 Tbsp freshly squeezed orange juice
2 tsp grated orange zest
A tiny pinch of ground cloves
Place cranberries in a saucepan with sugar and enough water to make sure the cranberries don't burn (if it's too much water, you can always just dump it out). Bring to a good simmer and add apple. Keep it simmering until the cranberries begin to pop and it becomes "saucy" and thickened . Once it's reached that point, remove from heat and stir in orange juice, zest and cloves. Let cool, and as it does, it should thicken more. Keep in fridge for up to 5 days.
