Categories     Fruit     Side     Christmas     Thanksgiving     Vegetarian     Kid-Friendly     Quick & Easy     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Cranberry Sauce     Healthy     Vegan     Christmas Eve     Simmer

Yield 1

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 cups of fresh or frozen cranberries
1 cup filtered water
1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup dried cherries
4 Tbsp agave nectar or more to taste
1 Tbsp orange zest
1 tsp fresh ginger juice (grate fresh ginger and squeeze out the juice) or more to taste
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon depending on taste

Steps:

  • Bring the raisins, cherries, cranberries, orange juice and water to the boil. Simmer for about ten minutes or until some of the cranberries start to burst open. Some will burst open and some will not. This gives a great texture. Now add in the agave nectar, ginger juice, orange zest and cinnamon and simmer for a few more minutes just to allow the flavors to infuse. Remove from the heat and allow to cool completely. Once cooled, you can place a stick blender into the pan and blend a little if you want a smoother consistency. Chill in the fridge for at least a few hours to allow the sauce to thicken and the flavors to infuse. This tastes even better the next day.

Tips:

  • Fresh is best: Use fresh cranberries for the best flavor and texture. If you can't find fresh cranberries, frozen cranberries will also work.
  • Use a variety of spices: Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices to create a unique flavor profile. Some popular spices to use in cranberry sauce include cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves.
  • Add a little sweetness: Cranberry sauce can be tart, so you may want to add a little sweetness to balance out the flavor. You can use sugar, honey, or maple syrup.
  • Cook it low and slow: Cranberry sauce should be cooked over low heat to prevent it from scorching. Stir it occasionally to ensure that it cooks evenly.
  • Let it cool before serving: Cranberry sauce is best served cold. Let it cool to room temperature before serving, or chill it in the refrigerator for a few hours.

Conclusion:

Cranberry sauce is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be enjoyed with a variety of dishes. It's perfect for Thanksgiving dinner, but it can also be enjoyed year-round. With so many different recipes to choose from, you're sure to find a cranberry sauce that you'll love.
