This Chunky Apple Cranberry Sauce recipe features an eclectic mix of Granny Smith apples, red wine, ginger, a dash of curry powder, currants and a touch of orange zest to unify the tartness. This makes for a complex cranberry sauce that holds its own against Seitan or other savory protein-rich feast centerpieces.
1 medium onion, cut into 1/2-inch-thick wedges
2/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup dry red wine
1 twelve oz. bag fresh cranberries
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar

2 teaspoons freshly grated ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground mace
1/4 teaspoon curry powder
