CRANBERRY SAUCE WITH BOURBON AND ORANGE



Cranberry Sauce with Bourbon and Orange image

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.

Time 45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups sugar
1/2 cup bourbon
2 cinnamon sticks
2 large coins peeled fresh ginger
Zest of 1 orange, plus juice of 4 oranges
1 pound (about 4 cups) cranberries, thawed if frozen
1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise and seeds scraped

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.

CRANBERRY SAUCE WITH PEARS AND CARDAMOM



Cranberry Sauce With Pears and Cardamom image

This sauce is so very different than traditional sauces and is one of my favorites. It was published in a local newspaper along with Grand Marnier Cranberry Sauce with Oranges as suggestions for 'new' sauce ideas, and I've been making them both ever since. Because grocery store pears are rarely ripe when purchased, it is best to buy them a few days ahead so they can sit on the counter and ripen up. Unripe pears just don't work in this recipe. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do. The cardamom gives a traditional Thanksgiving meal a touch of the exotic!

VANILLA CRANBERRY SAUCE



Vanilla Cranberry Sauce image

Now THIS is worth writing home about, so here I am! I wanted to do something different with my cranberry sauce this year. Enough of the citrus, no shallots for making compote...vanilla! I have a few dried out beans that I've been hoarding! Now that we have a supply of fresh beans, time to use the old - why not drop one in the cranberry sauce? How bad could it be? OMG.....it was divine!!! Vanilla sugar adds extra vanilla flavr but you can certainly use regular sugar.

Tips:

  • Use fresh cranberries: Fresh cranberries have a brighter flavor and more vibrant color than frozen or canned cranberries.
  • Don't overcook the cranberries: Overcooked cranberries will become mushy and lose their flavor. Cook them just until they burst and become soft.
  • Add sugar to taste: The amount of sugar you add to the cranberry sauce will depend on your personal preference. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
  • Add spices to taste: The spices in this recipe are just a suggestion. Feel free to add other spices that you like, such as cinnamon, ginger, or nutmeg.
  • Let the cranberry sauce cool before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly.
