Fresh Cranberry Sauce

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
  

  • 6 ounces fresh cranberries
  • 1 orange
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • pinch salt
  • pinch cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch

Method
 

  1. Zest the orange rind until you have 1 tablespoon.
  2. Juice the orange to 1/4 cup.
  3. Wash the berries.
  4. Bring the cranberries, orange zest, sugar, water, salt, and cinnamon to a boil.
  5. Boil for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. The cranberries will "pop" as they boil, and that's a good thing.
  6. Dissolve the cornstarch in the orange juice. Add to the berry mixture.
  7. Simmer for another 15 minutes.
  8. Cool and serve.
