Oregon Cran-Applesauce

• 34 cup water
• 14 cup red wine (or substitution-read intro)
• 34 cup sugar (negotiable-I usually use at least half this amount and sometimes replace sugar with local honey)
• 1 (12 ounce) package frozen cranberries (or equivalent amount of fresh cranberries)
• 3 medium cooking apples, peeled, cored, sliced (about 1 1/2 pounds)
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 1 whole cinnamon stick

1. In a large saucepan over medium heat, add the water, wine and sugar, stirring to dissolve.
2. Add the cranberries, apples and lemon juice.
3. Bring mixture to a boil.
4. Reduce heat and gently boil, uncovered, stirring occasionally until the cranberries pop and apples softened, approximately 15 minutes.
5. Transfer sauce to a food processor and puree.
6. (Or use a hand held immersion blender.
7. ).
8. Add the cinnamon stick.
9. Let stand several hours before serving.
10. Note: Sauce will thicken as it stands.
