Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

24 ounces fresh or frozen, thawed cranberries (about 5 cups)
1 1/2 cups packed light brown sugar

Finely grated zest of 1 orange

Steps:

  • Stir the cranberry sauce well and set the lid back on the slow cooker so there is a 1- to 2-inch gap, to allow for evaporation. Cook on high for another 1 1/2 to 2 hours, stirring at least twice, taking care around the edges, until many of the berries have popped and the sauce has thickened and is syrupy. Stir in the reserved chopped cranberries and the remaining orange zest. Spoon the cranberry sauce into a serving bowl, cover, and chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
  • Put the cranberries into a medium saucepan. Scoop out about 3/4 cup of the berries and finely chop. Set aside. Add the sugar, port and half the orange zest into the pan, and stir. Season with a generous pinch of salt. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat and cook, stirring often, until many of the berries have popped and the sauce has thickened and is jammy and syrupy, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in the reserved chopped cranberries and the remaining orange zest. Spoon into a serving bowl, cover, and chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the sauce will be. Look for fresh, ripe cranberries and oranges, and use a good quality port wine.
  • Don't overcook the sauce: Cranberry sauce is best when it is cooked just until the cranberries have burst and the sauce has thickened. Overcooking will make the sauce tough and bitter.
  • Taste the sauce as you go: Adjust the sweetness, tartness, and spiciness of the sauce to your liking. You can add more sugar, orange juice, or port wine as needed.
  • Let the sauce cool slightly before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld together and the sauce to thicken up a bit more.
  • Serve the sauce warm or at room temperature: Cranberry sauce is delicious served warm over roasted turkey or chicken, or at room temperature as a condiment for sandwiches or salads.
