DIRECTIONS
To make the simple syrup bring to a boil the water, the sugar, the honey, the
pineapple concentrate and the salt.
Boil the mixture to the medium hardball stage. While the syrup is cooking,
rinse the berries and pick out all of the sub par ones.
Add the spices and the orange juice to the hot liquid. Then add all of the berries at
once stirring constantly to prevent a boil over.
Once the cranberries are all open, cook on medium heat until the berries are tender.
Stir frequently to avoid burning.
Remove from the heat and stir in the zest and extracts. Transfer the sauce to a glass
bowl to cool.
Serves 15 to 18 persons.
