Lime, Cinnamon, Cranberry Simple Syrup
Time to Prepare: 15 min
Time to Cool: 30 min
Ingredients:
1 c. water
1 c. white sugar
2 c. washed cranberries
2 sticks cinnamon
zest of one lime (try to minimize the white pith just under the outer peel as this part of the peel can impart overwhelming bitterness)
Stir all ingredients together over medium heat and simmer for 11 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand to cool. When cool, strain out solids and store syrup in refrigerator for up to one month.
(The remaining sweetened cranberries should not be discarded as they can be used to garnish a delicious cocktail recipe or be a good addition to the Thanksgiving dinner table as a sweet cranberry relish. Remove the cinnamon sticks and lime zest before serving.)
