Thanksgiving cranberry sauce is usually a polarizing facet at Thanksgiving.
It appears you might be both within the “I adore it” camp or “I don’t look after it” camp. I used to be within the latter camp for a few years till I found cranberry sauce choices exterior of the canned model which you could slice with a knife.
Level is, in case you’ve by no means had cranberry sauce past the can, I urge you strive the selfmade model. It’s tremendous easy to make and versatile, too.
Description
Add ginger to your selfmade cranberry sauce to make it additional particular.
- 12 ounce bag (about 3 cups) contemporary cranberries
- 3/4 cup water
- 1/4 cup orange juice
- 2/3 cup honey
- 2 teaspoons minced contemporary ginger
- 2 teaspoons orange zest
- Rinse cranberries and add to medium pot. Add water and orange juice, deliver to a boil.
- Scale back to a simmer, add in honey and ginger, combine properly. Prepare dinner for 10 – quarter-hour – cranberry skins will begin popping and the flesh will begin to cook dinner right into a sauce.
- Take away from warmth and let sit 5 minutes. Combine in orange zest.
Notes
If you’d like a smoother sauce, mash with a potato masher.
In case you aren’t into ginger, go away it out. Or add a cinnamon stick as a substitute. Swap orange zest for lemon. Make it your individual new Thanksgiving custom. Or maybe your new favourite sandwich unfold.
