Equipment

  • 1 wood pellet smoker stove top
  • 1 medium size pan
  • 1 immersion blender or food processor optional
  • 1 measuring cups and spoons
  • 1 zester
  • 1 hand juicer optional
  • 1 cutting board
  • 1 chef's knife
  • 1 cast iron pan or baking sheet

Ingredients
 
 

  • 12 oz cranberries fresh or frozen
  • 4 medium size fuyu persimmons peeled and diced
  • ¾ cup of orange juice
  • Orange zest from one fruit
  • 3 tbsp of honey
  • ½ cup pecans toasted and roughly chopped (optional as a garnish)
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp ground cloves

Instructions
 

  • Start by washing and sorting the cranberries. Remove any damaged or rotten ones.
  • Wash, peel and dice the persimmons.
  • Preheat your smoker to 350F.
  • In a medium size saucepan combine: cranberries, persimmons, orange juice, honey and cinnamon.
  • Set the pan in the smoker. Cover with the lid to avoid splatter.
  • Smoke for 25 minutes. Remove the lid and stir the sauce.
  • Smoke for another 20 minutes, stirring from time to time.
  • The sauce is ready when the cranberries start to burst and fruit gets soft.
  • Remove from the smoker, let it cool.
  • Before serving add the orange zest and roasted pecans (optional)
  • If you are blending the cranberry sauce for a smoother texture, add the pecans at the end as a garnish.
  • If you are using stove top, set the pan on medium heat, cover with the lid and bring to boil.
  • Reduce the heat and simmer the sauce on low for 15-20 min stirring frequently.

Notes

If you are using stove top, set the pan on medium heat, cover with the lid and bring to boil. Reduce the heat and simmer the sauce on low for 15-20 min stirring frequently.
To cut the tartness of cranberry sauce, start by adding 1 tbsp of sugar, honey or other sweetener of your choice.
If you noticed the Cranberry Sauce is not setting, return back to the stove top and cook for 5-10 more minutes. The fruit needs to release more pectin to create the jelly like consistency. You can also place it in the fridge. The pectins will set and the sauce should thicken.
