Homemade Cranberry Sauce Recipe
Ingredients
Method
- Wash cranberries in colander. Remove any that are mushy.
- Using a microplane or citrus zester, remove orange zest to equal 1 teaspoon.
- Half the orange and juice it using a manual juicer to remove 1/2 cup juice. If not enough juice is produced from one orange, water may be used to make the 1/2 cup.
- Over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons water and 1/2 cup juice to a sauce pan. Add cranberries and sugar, or sweetener of choice. Add one pinch of salt.
- Stir over medium heat until liquids begin to bubble. Turn heat to low and allow to simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring to prevent sticking.
- Cranberries will pop as they cook.
- Add cinnamon and orange zest. Stir.
- Mixture will become thick and most berries will pop. It is okay that all do not. This adds texture to the sauce.
- Remove sauce from heat and allow to cool. Refrigerate.
