LAST MINUTE CRANBERRY SAUCE



Last Minute Cranberry Sauce image

This is for all my homies who forget about making cranberry sauce at the last minute... and all they have is dried cranberries! Don't worry. You can still have a lush, tangy scarlet sauce on the table in less time that it would take for you to get some from the store. All you need is some dried cranberries. I've woven in some Indian flavors here but feel free to make it your own. If you don't have cherry juice, you can use cranberry or orange... or just substitute with water and add some sugar or honey to sweeten it to your liking.

1 small green chile, such as jalapeno or serrano, pierced a few times
1 cup cherry juice
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Sugar, if needed

Steps:

  • Pour the oil into a small saucepan over medium heat. Drop in the red chile and cook until the oil starts to shimmer, then add the cumin seeds, fennel seeds and hing, if using. Stir and allow to sizzle for about 20 seconds.

Increase the heat to bring to a boil, then turn the heat down to a simmer. Cook, uncovered, until the cranberries soften, about 30 minutes. Remove the whole chiles and discard.
