Ingredients
1 3/4 cup cranberry juice
1/4 cup dark rum
1 (6 oz) bag sweetened dried cranberries
1 cinnamon stick, broken in half
1 cup sugar
2 gala apples, peeled, cored and diced
2 tsp corn starch
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add cranberry juice, rum, cranberries, cinnamon and sugar. Bring to a boil and let cook for 5 minutes. Add the apples and cook, stirring occasionally until the cranberries have softened and apples are tender, about 5 minutes.
Remove 8 oz of the liquid to a small bowl and whisk in the cornstarch. Slowly add the cornstarch-juice mixture (slurry) to the cranberry mixture, stirring constantly. Cook for an additional 5 minutes.
Remove cinnamon sticks and serve over French Toast recipe or pancakes.
