Cranberry Sauce
The store bought cranberry sauce was awful, it was like a jello paste and I didn't like it at all. I looked up recipes and found the Pioneer Woman's cranberry sauce recipe very interesting. It was such an easy and simple recipe that tasted delicious. I added a blob of butter to give it a glaze and buttery flavour. We all licked the bowl clean, it was tongue tingling, tangy, sweet and so yummy. Here's the link to Ree Drummond's recipe:
Ingredients
- 1 1lb pack of fresh cranberries
- 1 cup orange juice
- 1 tbs lemon juice
- 1 cup maple syrup
- 1 tbs orange zest
- 1 tbs butter
Instructions
- Rinse the fresh cranberries in cool water after picking the bad ones out, drain and put them in a pot.
- Add the orange juice, lemon juice and maple syrup and bring to boil. Skim off the froth that floats on top.
- The berries start popping out when the maximum heat is reached. Stir on and off and let the sauce thicken.
- Add the blob of butter and orange zest, simmer a bit to get the right jelly like consistency and remove.
- Allow it to cool before transferring to a serving bowl or jar.
- Enjoy with turkey or chicken.
