APPLES AND CRANBERRIES
   
1 pint cranberries (one whole 12-ounce bag)
1 1/2 cups water
1 cup sugar
4 or 5 tart apples (Granny Smiths are great)
1 cinnamon stick or 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
 
Cook cranberries in the water until cranberries are done (they pop
when they are done).  Put through strainer.  Add one cup of sugar
and cinnamon (stick or ground) to berries.  Pare, core, and quarter
apples.  Put apples into berries and cook until apples are tender
but not cooked to pieces.  Remove and discard the cinnamon stick,
if you used one, pour into dish and serve as any fruit or jelly.

Note: I have discovered that the cranberry sauce isn't quite thick
enough by the time to apples are done, so I use a slotted spoon to
remove the apples to the serving dish and reduce the sauce a little
more before I pour it over the apples.
