Cranberry Sauce With Pearl Onions And Golden Raisins Recipes

Steps:

• Bring a pot of water to a boil. Cook onions 2 minutes, then transfer to a bowl of ice water. Drain. Peel onions, and cut in half. Combine all ingredients in a saucepan. Cover, and cook over medium-low heat until cranberries burst and onions are tender, about 40 minutes.

Steps:

• Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add shallot and cook, stirring often, until translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Add apple and cook, stirring occasionally, for 2 minutes. Stir in raisins, cranberries, thyme, lemon zest, water, and sugar. Bring to a boil, and then reduce heat to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until cranberries have burst, apples are tender, and mixture has thickened, about 20 minutes.
• Remove from heat, and stir in lemon juice. Let cool to room temperature. Discard thyme and lemon zest. (Chutney will keep, covered and refrigerated, for up to 1 week. Serve chilled or at room temperature.)

Steps:

• In a dry large deep heavy skillet cook the sugar over moderately high heat, stirring constantly with a fork, until it is melted completely and a deep golden caramel. Remove the skillet from the heat, into the side of the skillet carefully pour 1 cup hot water, a little at a time, and cook the mixture over moderate heat, stirring, until the caramel is dissolved. Add the onions, the raisins, and the cranberries and simmer the mixture, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes, or until the cranberries are tender. Remove the skillet from the heat, let the cranberry sauce mixture cool, and transfer it to a serving dish.
