Cranberry Fruit Conserve

Call me crazy, but I'm not a fan of cranberry sauce that's plopped out onto a saucer or plate with the signature lines showing for all the world to see. Take about 30 minutes and have an awesome side dish of cranberries, fruit and nuts. Your guests will thank you.

1 (12 oz.) bag of fresh cranberries, cleaned
1 3/4 cups sugar
1 Granny Smith apple, peeled, cored and chopped
grated zest and juice of 1 orange
grated zest and juice of 1 lemon
3/4 cup raisins
3/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans

Cook the cranberries, sugar and 1 cup of water in a saucepan over low heat for about 5 minutes or until the skins pop open. Add the apple, zest and juices and cook for 15 more minutes. Remove from the heat and add the raisins and nuts.  Let cool and serve chilled.
