2 cups Orchard Gold Cranberries	2 cups apple, peeled and diced
1 onion, peeled and diced	2 cloves garlic, finely diced
1 tablespoon grated ginger	1 red capsicum, diced
½ cup brown sugar	½ cup raisins
½ cup white vinegar

2 cups Orchard Gold cranberries	1 cup orange juice
1 tablespoon lemon juice	1 cup sugar
½ cup water	1 tablespoon grated orange peel
½ tablespoon grated lemon peel

Place the first five ingredients in a large pot over a medium heat and stir until the sugar is dissolved.  Simmer for 5-10 minutes until the cranberries begin to pop and are soft.  Cool slightly, then puree the mixture in a blender.  Strain to remove the seeds, add the grated orange and lemon peel.  Cool, then transfer mixture to a metal baking dish and place in freezer.  Freeze for 3 hours, stirring with a spoon every hour to break up the ice crystals.  Or place the mixture in an ice cream maker and process according to manufacturer’s instructions.  Serve in chilled glasses with orange or mandarin slices, wafers or other delicate biscuits.
