Sweetened with pure maple syrup instead of refined sugar, this easy homemade cranberry sauce recipe is a healthier spin on the favorite Thanksgiving condiment. We love the subtle seasonal flavors that the orange and cinnamon impart.

Provided by Kare for Kitchen Treaty

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 cups fresh or frozen cranberries
1/3 cup pure maple syrup + more if needed
1 tablespoon orange zest
1/2 cup fresh orange juice
1/2 cup water
Cinnamon stick

Steps:

  • Rinse the cranberries. Discard any mushy or underripe berries and stems.
  • Place a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat and add the cranberries, 1/3 cup pure maple syrup, orange zest, orange juice, water, and cinnamon stick. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture comes to a boil. Continue boiling over medium heat until the berries burst and break down, forming a sauce, 15-20 minutes.
  • Taste for sweetness. If it's too tart, add more syrup - a tablespoon at a time - until the sauce tastes sweet enough for you.
  • Remove from the heat and let cool. Spoon into your serving container to serve or store in an airtight container, refrigerated, for 3-4 days. You can also freeze your cranberry sauce for up to 2 months - I do this every Thanksgiving! Just place the sauce in an airtight container or zipper freezer bag and transfer to the freezer. Move to the fridge to thaw about 24-48 hours before the big meal.

CRANBERRY MAPLE SAUCE



Cranberry Maple Sauce image

A lovely holiday fruit sauce to serve with the traditional bird, with a couple of twists. Instead of straight-up sugar, a cup of pure maple syrup balances the tartness of the fruit. A cup of cranberry juice ensures the essential flavor remains the focus of the dish, and a bit of orange brightens the whole shebang. The Grand Marnier is optional. This is to say nothing of the texture, which to paraphrase the great Roseanne Conner, is "so far beyond canned sauce, that the light from canned sauce would take one billion years to reach the Earth." It is, in a word, awesome. Inspired by a Pioneer Woman recipe, via Kristen Swensson of Cheap, Healthy, Good.

THE NEW BASICS MAPLE CRANBERRY SAUCE



The New Basics Maple Cranberry Sauce image

This recipe comes from The New Basics Cookbook by Julee Rosso & Sheila Lukins. I never liked cranberry sauce until I tried this one! I've lived outside Canada since 1997 so it is sometimes a challenge to find the cranberries (so then we do without cranberry sauce for Thanksgiving) and other times it is difficult to find the raspberry-cranberry juice but another juice is easily substituted.

Categories     Sauces

Time 15m

Yield 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

12 ounces fresh cranberries, well rinsed
1 cup maple syrup
1 cup cranberry-raspberry juice
1 orange, zest of (from one orange)
1 cup walnut halves

Steps:

  • Note - I usually use frozen cranberries and they work just fine in this recipe.
  • Combine all ingredients except the walnuts in a heavy saucepan and bring to a boil. Cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes until the cranberries pop open.
  • Skim off the foam and stir in the walnuts. Allow to cool. Keep covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Tips for Making Maple Syrup Cranberry Sauce:

  • Use fresh cranberries for the best flavor. Frozen cranberries can also be used, but they may not be as tart.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can chop the cranberries by hand. Just be sure to chop them finely so that they will dissolve easily in the sauce.
  • You can use any type of maple syrup you like. Dark maple syrup will give the sauce a richer flavor, while light maple syrup will give it a more delicate flavor.
  • Be careful not to overcook the sauce. The cranberries should be cooked until they are softened, but they should not be mushy.
  • Serve the sauce warm or cold. It can be served on its own, or it can be used as a topping for pancakes, waffles, or ice cream.

Conclusion:

Maple syrup cranberry sauce is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be enjoyed in many different ways. It is easy to make and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy way to add some flavor to your meal, give maple syrup cranberry sauce a try!
