For non-alcoholic version, sub apple cider, unsweetened apple juice or unsweetened cranberry juice for the wine. Red Delicious apples were suggested in original recipe however most any apple will work (Red Delicious happens to be my least favorite apple). Local recipe using locally vintered red wine; locally grown apples and Oregon grown cranberries! Ingredients:
3/4 cup water |
1/4 cup red wine (or substitution-read intro) |

1 (12 ounce) package frozen cranberries (or equivalent amount of fresh cranberries) |
3 medium cooking apples, peeled, cored, sliced (about 1 1/2 pounds) |
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice |
1 whole cinnamon stick |

2. Add the cranberries, apples and lemon juice.
3. Bring mixture to a boil.
