Preparation

  1. Put raisins in a bowl, add the Calvados and set aside at least 1 hour.
  2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spread pecans on a baking sheet and toast 10 to 15 minutes in oven. Let cool and chop coarsely.
  3. In a heavy saucepan, combine the sugar and orange juice. Bring to a boil, add the cranberries and cook over medium heat about 5 minutes, until cranberrries start to soften and pop. Add the remaining ingredients, including the raisins in Calvados and the pecans.
  4. Return to a boil, reduce to medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the ingredients are combined and the mixture has thickened, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a bowl or container, let cool and refrigerate at least 24 hours before serving.
