CIDER CRANBERRY SAUCE

Original recipe was found in Family Fun magazine. (surprised by the number of excellent recipes in there!) I've basically halved it here. As stated by FF: "more personality and fresh flavor-with a whisper of apple" The pectin naturally found in apples helps the sauce to gel. Our family liked it very much.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh cranberries: Fresh cranberries are tarter and have a more intense flavor than frozen cranberries. If using frozen cranberries, thaw them completely before using.
  • Use a variety of apples: Different apples will give your sauce different flavors. For a tart sauce, use Granny Smith apples. For a sweeter sauce, use Honeycrisp or Fuji apples.
  • Add spices to taste: Common spices used in cranberry sauce include cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and ginger. Add spices to taste, starting with a small amount and increasing it until you reach the desired flavor.
  • Don't overcook the sauce: Cranberry sauce should be cooked just until the cranberries have burst and the sauce has thickened. Overcooking the sauce will make it bitter.
  • Let the sauce cool before serving: Cranberry sauce is best served cold or at room temperature. Let the sauce cool completely before serving, or store it in the refrigerator for later use.

Conclusion:

Cranberry sauce is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be enjoyed with a variety of dishes.
