Cranberry-jalapeno-persimmon sauce

Just like Grandma never made… cranberry sauce with a kick! I’ve made this many times and it’s always more popular than the stuff from the can.

The renovation: This recipe originally appeared in the San Diego Union-Tribune newspaper’s Smart Living section. I replaced the sugar with agave syrup and changed some of the fruits, reducing the onion by half.

Instructions

1. Wash the cranberries, fruit, and peppers.
2. Finely chop the onion and put in a medium-sized saucepan.
3. Add the cranberries. Core the fruit and chop. You can leave it in larger pieces for a chunkier sauce, or chop it finely if you want a smoother sauce.
4. Remove the core and seeds from the jalapenos and mince finely. Grind the cardamom seeds in a nut grinder or mortar and pestle.
5. Zest the orange into the pot, then cut in half and juice it. Add all the remaining ingredients.
6. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 30 minutes.

If you have a masticating juicer, you can run all the fruit through it with the blank in. Put half the cranberries through the juicer; leave half of them whole.
