Try this with your next Thanksgiving turkey instead of that swill in a can!
Cranberry Sauce
Makes about 2 cups
Ingredients:
- 1/2 c. sugar
- 1/2 c. brown sugar
- 1/2 large orange OR 1 whole clementine cut in half
- 1 c. water
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- 12 oz package of fresh cranberries
Place orange (or clementine), sugars, water and cinnamon in a heavy pan and stir to dissolve.
Add the berries and bring to a boil.
Cook over medium heat until the berries start to pop and then start mashing them with the back of a spoon.
Continue to cook and mash until you reach the desired thickness up to 10 minutes longer.
Remove from heat and chill.
NOTE: the longer you store this, the thicker it becomes, almost like a jelly. It's fine and it's delicious on chicken or turkey sandwiches when it gets gels like that.
