Following tradition, Thanksgiving feast in North America is not complete without cranberry sauce. The sweet to tart flavor pair perfectly with roasted turkey. In the United Kingdom, cranberry sauce is also often eaten in conjunction with turkey for Christmas.
In the mean time, I have found many cranberry sauce recipes but I wanted to follow one of my favorite chefs Ree Drummond. I really like her show, The Pioneer Woman and recently got her cookbook as a present on my birthday. This simple cranberry sauce has a few main ingredients such as cranberries, sugar, orange zest, orange juice, and cinnamon. However, I always add other components in order to create my own signature dish. Let's get started!
Ingredients:
1 bag or 12 ounces fresh cranberries
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon orange zest
1 teaspoon minced ginger
1/4 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup and 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice
1 stick cinnamon
Directions:
Pick through the cranberries and discard any that look mushy.
Rinse the remaining well, add cranberries to a 1/4 cup and place the least in a saucepan with sugar, brown sugar, orange zest, orange juice, ginger, honey, cinnamon stick. Stir well and place the pan over medium heat. Cook about 10-15 minutes or until the cranberries all be popped. Then sprinkle a 1/4 cup of fresh cranberries and stir well for few minutes. The sauce will look liquidy but when it cools, the sauce will be thicken up. Remove the cinnamon stick and after the sauce has cooled you may add additional 2 tablespoons orange juice if desire thinner texture.
Then store the sauce in the jar and keep it in the refrigerator. It can be served chilled or at room temperature. Happy Thanksgiving ka!
