Ingredients
- 1 small navel orange
- 1 bag (12 ounces) fresh cranberries, rinsed
- 2 cup iced fresh pineapple
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/3 cup dried cranberries
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 to 1 1/2 teaspoon pureed canned chipotles in adobo to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, salt
- pinch each ground: cloves, allspice
Directions
- Grate the zest from the orange into a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan.
- Dice the rest of the orange into ½ inch pieces and add to the pot.
- Stir in remaining ingredients.
- Heat to a boil, then cover with the lid for about 5 minutes, so the condensation dissolves the sugar crystals on the side of the pan.
- Uncover and boil gently, stirring often, until thickened, about 15 minutes. (Most of the cranberries will burst.)
- Remove from the heat.
- Refrigerate, covered, overnight or up to 1 week.
- Serve at room temperature.
