 3 whole allspice berries, crushed*
 1 whole cinnamon stick
  About 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
 1/8 teaspoon ground cardamon
  Zest and juice of 1 medium lemon
 1 tablespoon orange zest

Put all ingredients with 3/4 cup water in a medium saucepan. Simmer over low heat, stirring often, until most of the cranberries have popped and apples are tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove cinnamon stick and add sugar and salt to taste.
