CRANBERRY SAUCE WITH CINNAMON AND BRANDY
Steps:
- Combine cranberries, orange juice, brandy, into a pot. Stir the sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and nutmeg into the pot, ensuring that they disolve completely into the mixture. Bring the pot to a boil on medium-high heat. Lower heat to a simmer and stir the mixture every so often until it thickens and/or cranberries are to your desired softness. Note: For a less tart flavor, more sugar can be added. For a stronger flavor more brandy, cinnamon, or nutmeg can be added. If additional brandy is desired, it may require more corn starch to thicken sufficiently.
CRANBERRY SAUCE WITH BOURBON AND ORANGE
Michael Symon's family often breaks into a heated debate during Thanksgiving - but only because they can't agree on whether cranberry sauce should be canned or homemade. Most of his relatives are OK with canned, but not Michael, which is why he came up with this flavorful sauce. "This is my attempt to sway my family with the magic of bourbon," he says.

Steps:
- Combine the sugar and bourbon in a 1-quart saucepan, stirring well. Add the cinnamon sticks, ginger and orange zest and juice. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Reduce the heat to medium low and simmer until the liquid begins to reduce a bit, 5 to 7 minutes.
- Add the cranberries and vanilla bean and seeds to the pan and continue to simmer until the cranberries are soft and breaking apart and the sauce begins to thicken, 12 to 15 minutes. If desired, mash your cranberries with a sturdy whisk or potato masher, just to break them up, and simmer to thicken a little bit more, about 5 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the heat and discard the cinnamon sticks, ginger pieces and vanilla bean. Let the sauce cool. Serve warm or at room temperature, or refrigerate for up to 10 days - the flavors only get better as they chill out in the fridge.

Tips:
- Use fresh cranberries: Fresh cranberries are the best choice for this sauce, as they have a brighter flavor and more vibrant color than frozen cranberries.
- Don't overcook the sauce: Cranberry sauce is best when it is cooked just until the cranberries burst and the sauce thickens. Overcooking the sauce will make it tough and rubbery.
- Add sugar to taste: The amount of sugar you add to the sauce will depend on your personal preference. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
- Use a variety of spices: Cinnamon and brandy are classic additions to cranberry sauce, but you can also experiment with other spices, such as nutmeg, ginger, or allspice.
- Let the sauce cool completely before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken.
Conclusion:
Cranberry sauce is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be enjoyed with a variety of dishes, from roasted turkey to grilled chicken. With its bright flavor and festive color, cranberry sauce is also a perfect addition to any holiday table. So next time you're looking for a simple and delicious side dish, give this cranberry sauce with cinnamon and brandy a try.
