Cranberry Pecan Conserve Recipes

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, combine the cranberries, orange zest, oranges, raisins and water. Cover and simmer over medium heat until cranberries are soft. Add pecans and sugar; stir well. Simmer, uncovered, 10-15 minutes, stirring often. Cool. Spoon into covered containers. Refrigerate. Serve as a relish with poultry or pork, or spread on biscuits or rolls.

Steps:

• 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, zests, and juices and cook for 15 more minutes. Remove from the heat and add the raisins and nuts. Let cool, and serve chilled.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine 1 cup flour and 2 tablespoons sugar. Cut in butter until crumbly. Stir in 1/3 cup pecans. Press into an ungreased 13x9-in. baking pan. Bake at 350° for 15 minutes or until set., Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the egg, egg whites, milk, orange zest, vanilla and remaining flour and sugar. Fold in the cranberries, coconut and remaining pecans. Spread over warm crust. Bake 25-30 minutes longer or until top is golden. Cool on a wire rack.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine all ingredients. Pour into a greased 11x7-in. baking dish. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until cranberries are tender. Serve warm or cold. Refrigerate leftovers.

Steps:

• 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, zests, and juices and cook for 15 more minutes. Remove from the heat and add the raisins and nuts. Let cool, and serve chilled.

Steps:

• In a skillet, toast pecans over medium heat, shaking pan to avoid burning. In about 8 minutes, nuts will become fragrant and smell toasty; remove from heat and chop.
• In a large heavy pot, bring cranberries, raspberries, sugar, lemon juice and zest to a boil. Remove from heat, pour into a ceramic or glass bowl, then cover and refrigerate overnight. If not canning, add pecans and serve.
• If canning, put a rack in a large stockpot or line the pot with a folded kitchen towel. Fill with water and bring to a boil. Add 4 half-pint canning jars or two pint-size canning jars and boil for 10 minutes. Jars may be left in the warm water in the pot until ready to be filled. Alternatively, sterilize the jars by running them through a dishwasher cycle, leaving them there until ready to fill.
• Place canning rings in a small saucepan, cover with water and bring to a boil. Turn off the heat and add the lids to soften their rubber gaskets. Rings and lids may be left in the water until jars are filled.
• Strain the cranberry raspberry mixture through a sieve over a heavy pot, then place the strainer in a bowl to catch any additional syrup. Reserve the fruit solids.
• Bring liquid to a boil. When syrup reaches 220 degrees, or an active boil that cannot be stirred down, add back the fruit and any juices that have accumulated.
• Bring the mixture back to a hard boil, stirring constantly. Add the pecans, and then cook until the conserve is at a boil that cannot be stirred down and has thickened to a jammy consistency.
• Remove the jars from the pot. Ladle hot conserve into the hot jars, leaving 1/2-inch head space.
• Wipe jar rims with a damp towel. Place lids on jars, screw on rings and lower jars back into the pot of boiling water. Return to a full boil and boil the jars for 15 minutes for half pints, 20 minutes for pints. Transfer jars to a folded towel and allow to cool for 12 hours; you should hear jars ping as they seal.
• Once cool, test seals by removing rings and lifting jars by the flat lid. If the lid releases, the seal has not formed. Unsealed jars should be refrigerated and used within a month, or reprocessed. Rings and jars may be reused, but a new flat lid must be used each time jars are processed. To reprocess, reheat conserve to boiling, then continue as before.

Steps:

• Bring first 5 ingredients to simmer in heavy large saucepan over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Add cranberries and cook until berries pop, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Stir in pecans. Poun into bowl. Cool, cover and refrigerate until well chilled. (Can be prepared 4 days ahead)

Steps:

• Combine cranberries, sugar and Port in heavy large saucepan. Bring mixture to boil over medium-high heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Reduce heat to medium-low; add chopped orange and simmer until cranberries burst and mixture thickens slightly, about 15 minutes. Mix in dried currants. Cool cranberry conserve completely. Stir in chopped walnuts. (Cranberry conserve can be prepared 3 days ahead. Cover tightly and refrigerate.)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Combine 3/4 cup milk and vinegar in a bowl; let stand until milk is curdled, about 5 minutes.
• Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg in a large bowl; cut in butter with a pastry blender. Smooth remaining butter clumps with hands; stir in milk mixture, cranberries, and pecans. Knead until dough comes together in a ball.
• Place dough onto a floured work surface. Roll out with a rolling pin to 3/4-inch thickness. Cut into long, 2-inch wide strips with a sharp knife; cut strips into triangles. Transfer to the baking sheet. Brush tops with egg white.
• Bake in the preheated oven until tops are golden brown, about 15 minutes.
• Combine confectioners' sugar and 2 tablespoons milk in a small bowl; mix until combined. Drizzle over scones.
