Yield:
About 12 meringuesIngredients
1 cup cranberries
¼ cup sugar
¾ cup water
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
First, make the cranberry puree: In a medium saucepan, combine the cranberries, sugar, water, and spices. Stir over medium-high heat until the sugar dissolves. Bring to a boil, decrease heat to medium-low, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries burst and the sauce has slightly thickened, 10 to 12 minutes. Carefully transfer the sauce to a blender and puree until smooth. Pour into a container and let cool completely. The puree may be made in advance and refrigerated for up to 5 days.
