🛒 Ingredients
• 2 cups peeled, finely diced apples

• 1 cup cranberries
• 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup apple juice
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

👩‍🍳 Directions
1️⃣ Put a small plate in the freezer. Combine the apples, pears, cranberries, apple juice, and lemon juice in a wide saucepan.

2️⃣ Cover and simmer for 12–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the fruit is tender.

3️⃣ Stir in the sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves until the sugar dissolves.
