EASY CRAN-RASPBERRY SAUCE



Easy Cran-Raspberry Sauce image

This simple but elegant twist on cranberry sauce comes from Stephanie Jaworski by way of her website, joyofbaking.com. I came across this when searching for a good cranberry sauce that didn't include orange juice as a primary ingredient. I have a medical condition that requires me to severely limit my intake of citrus, which means that the usual cranberry sauce recipes just don't work for me. This yummy alternative can be used many ways, but is especially wonderful over ice cream. Cooking time is approximate.

This is a very easy way to make cranberry sauce. Try to use orange juice if possible, it really brings out "life" to the cranberry sauce.

Time 19m

Yield 3-4 cups

1 1/4 cups sugar (a little more sugar, if you prefer it sweeter)
1/2 cup orange juice or 1/2 cup water
1 teaspoon grated orange rind

  • Let stand, covered until cool.
  • Transfer to serving bowl and chill for 3-4 hours.
