Homemade Cranberry Sauce

Posted on November 17, 2011, under Condiment, Food.

This cranberry sauce is simple to make, with a taste that far exceeds any store bought variety.  Once you’ve tasted this.. you’ll never buy it again!

 

Homemade Cranberry Sauce

12 ounces cranberries

1 c. sugar

1 c. orange juice

Measure the sugar and orange juice into a saucepan.

 

Over medium heat, stir mixture unitl the sugar is dissolved.

 

Once the sugar has dissolved, add the cranberries and stir.

 

Bring the mixture to a good steady boil. After about 8-10 minutes, the cranberries will 'pop'.. Continue stirring.

 

Once the cranberries have popped, take a potato masher and mash down the berries several times. Continue boiling for a total of 18 minutes (I set the timer from the first sign of the mixure boiling).

Continue to stir the whole time. Once the 18 minutes is completed, remove pan from heat and set aside to cool. Once cool, place the sauce into the desired storage container and store in the refridge.

This sauce can accompany more than turkey.. it can be spread over a biscuit or used as a french toast spread, etc, etc. Enjoy :-)
