FRESH CRANBERRY SAUCE



Fresh Cranberry Sauce image

A great side dish for Thanksgiving dinner. It can be used as filling for cranberry/cream cheese tarts and also makes a great topping on bagels, corn bread, or cheesecake. Pour into a serving dish or jars and cover. The pectin in the cranberries will make the cranberry sauce gel as it cools. I usually use a fork to mix it up which will make it more pliable.

FRESH CRANBERRY RELISH (SUBSTITUTE FOR CRANBERRY SAUCE)



Fresh Cranberry Relish (Substitute for Cranberry Sauce) image

I've been making this for years, and is such a refreshing change from the standard canned cranberry sauce served on holiday tables. It comes together quickly with a food processor. Goes great with turkey or ham, and is especially good on turkey sandwiches! I'm guessing on the quantity this recipe serves, It's enough to make a large serving bowl, and fill 3 jars to give away too! Cooking time is just for boiling water. Hope you enjoy this beautiful addition to your Thanksgiving and Christmas buffet! (don't worry, the orange rind will not be tart, as there is substantial sugar!)

Tips:

  • Use fresh cranberries for the best flavor and texture. Frozen cranberries can be used in a pinch, but they will not be as tart or flavorful.

  • Add sugar or honey to taste. The amount of sweetener you add will depend on how tart you like your sauce.
  • Add spices, such as cinnamon, nutmeg, or cloves, to taste. These spices will help to enhance the flavor of the cranberries.
  • Serve the cranberry sauce immediately or store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Fresh cranberry sauce is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be enjoyed with a variety of dishes. It is a classic Thanksgiving side dish, but it can also be used to top pancakes, waffles, or ice cream. With its bright red color and tart flavor, cranberry sauce is a surefire way to add some festive cheer to your holiday table.
