Ingredients
- 1 (12-oz) bag fresh cranberries (about 3 cups)
- 1 cup pure maple syrup
- ½ cup chopped pecans
- 1 teaspoon grated orange zest, (from 1 orange)
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
Steps
-
Combine the cranberries and syrup in a medium saucepan, and bring to a boil. Let them bubble gently, stirring often, until the skins on the cranberries have all split and the mixture has thickened, 4 to 5 minutes (cover the pan with a lid if the cranberries splatter). If some of the berries don't burst, press them gently against the side of the pan with the back of your spoon to pop them, being careful to avoid hot splatters.
-
While the berries are cooking, put the pecans in a small, dry skillet, and stir them over medium heat until they are fragrant and lightly toasted, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate to cool.
-
When the cranberry mixture has thickened, take it off the heat and stir in the orange zest, vinegar, and pecans. Mix well. Serve warm or transfer to a covered container and chill.
