Cranberry Sauce With Apple, Maple Syrup & Thyme

Cranberry Sauce With Apple, Maple & Thyme
Sweet-tart cranberry sauce is a must with turkey. Not only is it a breeze to make, it keeps for weeks in the fridge, allowing you to prep way ahead. This style is a little looser—think plump cranberries in a light syrup—but if you prefer it jammier, cook it 3 to 4 minutes longer, stirring often. If you’re using frozen berries, there is no need to thaw them.
Ingredients:
Classic Cranberry Sauce
2/3 cup (150 mL) pure maple syrup instead of granulated sugar
substitute 1/2 cup (125 mL) apple juice for the cranberry juice. 
Add 1 tsp (5 mL) chopped fresh thyme before cooking.
1 bag (12 oz) fresh or frozen cranberries, about 3 1/2 cups (875 mL)
3/4 cup (175 mL) granulated sugar
3/4 cup (175 mL) cranberry juice
Directions:
Place ingredients in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. When it comes to a boil, reduce heat to maintain a vigorous simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, 8 minutes—most skins will have split. Remove from heat. (Don’t worry if it looks runny. Most of the liquid will get absorbed by the berries, and what’s left will thicken.) Cool completely. Transfer to an airtight container. Refrigerate up to 2 weeks.
Makes 2 cups (500 mL), about 8 to 10 servings.
