Fresh Cranberry Sauce with Orange Juice
loading...
X
Ingredients
- 12oz bag fresh cranberries
- 1 cup orange juice
- ½ cup light brown sugar
- Water as needed
Steps
- Rinse cranberries in cold water, drain, place in 3 quart or larger pot.
- In a medium sauce pan over high heat, bring the orange juice and sugar to a boil. Mix add ins at this time if desired. Add the cranberries and return to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and boil gently for 10 to 12 minutes, until most of cranberries have burst open. Turn off heat.
- Use a fork or potato masher to pop the remainder of the cranberries, if desired. If you prefer extra-smooth cranberry sauce, blend the mixture in a blender until smooth after it has cooled completely. You may need to add some water at this point to thin out sauce to desired thickness.
- Let the sauce sit at room temperature about 30 minutes. It will naturally thicken as it cools.
- Transfer sauce to a serving bowl. Cover and chill until ready to serve.
Notes
- Optional add ins: ¼ tsp cinnamon, ¼ tsp nutmeg, 1 tsp vanilla, chopped pecans, Orange zest
- Substitutions: Sugar for ¼ cup maple syrup, date syrup, coconut sugar or honey.
- No sugar option: omit sugar and increase orange juice to 1½ cups.
