Easy Orange Cranberries

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.

  1. I have a reciepe suggestion for your cranberry sauce:
    ready?
    1)make the sauce
    2) make a pie crust
    3) take a round wheel of brie
    4)put the brie in the middle of the pie crust
    5) top with cranberry sauce
    5a) wrap pie crust around brie covering completely.
    6)bake in oven until pie crust is cooked
    7) eat like a pig becuase its the most delicious thing you've ever eaten

    my sister in law did this last thankgiving, and it's incredibly delicious!!
