I love cranberry sauce at holiday meals. Not the can-shaped cranberry sauce, but the sauce with the little cranberries poking out. I think it goes wonderfully with turkey, or stuffing, or potatoes, or rolls, or whatever you eat. I adapted this recipe slightly from the back of the bag of cranberries that you can buy in the produce department of the grocery store. I made it for Thanksgiving dinner, and it was fun and orangey!You will need:
- a bag of cranberries
- 1 orange
- 1 cup sugar
- water
Juice and zest your orange. Add enough water to the orange juice to make 1 cup of orange juice/water. Bring the orange juice/water to a boil. Add the cranberries and turn the heat down, letting them simmer for about 20 minutes, until most of the cranberries have popped. Stir in the sugar and the orange zest. Chill the cranberries in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.
