Time 55m

Yield 9

Number Of Ingredients 6

½ cup white sugar
½ cup brown sugar
½ cup orange juice
½ cup water
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 (12 ounce) package fresh or frozen cranberries

Steps:

  • Place the sugars, orange juice, water, and cinnamon in a heavy saucepan, and stir to dissolve the sugar. Add the cranberries and bring the mixture to a boil. Cook over medium heat until the berries pop, about 10 minutes. Mash the mixture with a spoon to pop any unpopped berries and help thicken the sauce, if desired, and reduce heat to low and simmer until the sauce is the desired thickness, up to 10 more minutes.
  • Remove from the heat, pour the sauce into a bowl, and chill until serving time. Sauce will thicken as it cools.

Tips:

  • Use fresh cranberries whenever possible. Fresh cranberries are more flavorful and have a brighter color than frozen cranberries.
  • If you are using frozen cranberries, thaw them before using. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan to make cranberry sauce. This will help prevent the sauce from burning.
  • Bring the cranberry sauce to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the cranberries have burst and the sauce has thickened.
  • Stir the cranberry sauce occasionally to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the saucepan.
  • Add sugar to taste. Cranberry sauce can be made tart or sweet, depending on your preference.
  • Add spices to taste. Common spices used in cranberry sauce include cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
  • Let the cranberry sauce cool slightly before serving. Cranberry sauce can be served warm or cold.

Conclusion:

Cranberry sauce is a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals. It is a traditional Thanksgiving dish, but it can also be served with other holiday meals or even as a snack. Cranberry sauce is also a good source of vitamins and minerals, including vitamin C, potassium, and fiber.
