Fresh Cranberry Sauce
I do not enjoy eating turkey without cranberry sauce. It’s just part of that whole dinner to me. Once I tasted cranberry sauce made with fresh cranberries, I just can’t imagine going back to the canned kind. The orange in it cuts the tartness of the berries perfectly.
Ingredients
Method
- Zest the orange rind until you have 1 tablespoon.
- Juice the orange to 1/4 cup.
- Wash the berries.
- Bring the cranberries, orange zest, sugar, water, salt, and cinnamon to a boil.
- Boil for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. The cranberries will “pop” as they boil, and that’s a good thing.
- Dissolve the cornstarch in the orange juice. Add to the berry mixture.
- Simmer for another 15 minutes.
- Cool and serve.
