Cranberry Apple Fig Sauce

This sauce is free of many allergens, and a quick and easy recipe to follow. It has a sweet but tangy taste and can be served on any poultry, game, pork and even ontop of cheese and crackers.

Takes about 15 minutes
Makes about 1 1/2 cups

1 cup frozen cranberries
1/2 cup apple sauce
3 dried Kalamata Figs
1 tsp honey
2/3 cups of cranberry juice
1/2 tsp cinnamon

In Saucepan over medium heat, bring cranberries, juice and honey to a boil. While boiling, boil about 1 cup of water in a seperate saucepan- transfer to a small bowl with the figs, and allow figs to soak (around 10 minutes). Once the cranberry mixture boils and the cranberries have popped out of their skins, add in the apple sauce- bring to a simmer. With a hand mixer or blender, puree cranberry mixture until smooth. Dice the figs and add in to the pureed mixture, puree it with the figs and then stir in the cinnamon.
