Why buy a can of cranberry sauce when you can make them in an instant? Nothing beats Homemade Cranberry Sauce. So here is a quick and tested recipe that I just made for our Thanksgiving on Thursday.
Ingredients:
~1 lb. fresh cranberry or frozen make sure you thaw and drain it out first before you cook it, to get rid of extra water.
~1/3 cup of water
~1 1/4 cups of granulated sugar
~1 cinnamon stick
~1/2 tsp. ground all spice
~1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg
~1 large orange navel, zest and juice
~a dash of salt
Directions:
* Combine cranberry, sugar, and water in a medium sauce pan.
Bring it to a boil in medium heat.
When the cranberry starts to pop don't be alarmed, its natural, it is releasing it's wonderful juices and textures.
* Add the cinnamon stick, all spice and nutmeg and stir.
Simmer for a few minutes.
* Add the orange zest, juice and a dash of salt. Stir and let it simmer in low for 5 to 7 minutes, once it get to that gel like texture turn off your heat and transfer to a serving bowl.
If you want your Cranberry Sauce to be smooth and shiny, remove the cinnamon stick and toss the mixture in the blender until you get the consistency that you like. I like it a bit chunky and textured because it reminds me that it is homemade.
