How To Make condiment essentials: sweet/sour cranberry sauce

• 
  Step 1
  Chef’s Note: You have two choices here… You can use plain apple cider to create a very mellow ketchup. Or you can use apple cider vinegar to create a sauce that will knock your socks off… up to you. I use apple cider with things like meatloaf, and burgers. I use apple cider vinegar with things like smoked meats, such as: ribs and pork.
