1cupCider - (I used alcoholic, but feel free to use apple juice)
1¾cupdark brown Sugar
½teaspoonSalt
1teaspoon each of cinnamon, ground cloves, ground coriander, mixed spice, ground ginger and freshly grated nutmeg
¼cupAmaretto - or Brandy or Whiskey (optional)
Instructions
Using a food processor or blender, process the apple, orange, lemon and most of the dried fruit (keep ¼ cup aside) until combined but not smooth. You don't want any large lumps, but you need some texture. I use a little of the cider to help process it easily.
Add this, along with the reserved ¼ cup of dried fruit and the rest of the cider to a large saucepan
Bring to a boil, but quickly turn down to a very gentle simmer. Do not cover.
Simmer for about 15 minutes or until the mixture starts to dry out (the cider has basically evaporated). Stir frequently to avoid the mixture from sticking.
Now add the brown sugar, salt and spices, stir well, and simmer for another 15 minutes.
Remove from heat, and, if using, stir in your alcohol of choice.
Decant into sterilised jars. Leave for at least 1 week before using.
Please note that where the recipe asks for milk, butter or yogurt, this refers to any plant-based version that you prefer.
