RUBY CRANBERRY VANILLA SAUCE



Ruby Cranberry Vanilla Sauce image

This is almost jam-like in consistency and has such a knock-out flavor from its simplicity. You can be versatile with flavorings (rum, brandy, vodka, lemon, lime, or orange peel) and this can be used to fill doughnuts, cupcakes, cookies, or heated and served over pound cakes or cheesecakes. ...It happens to marry well with French Toast and pancakes (gingerbread pancakes with warm maple syrup, a little whipped cream, a touch of orange zest, and mugs of hot cocoa creates a very beautiful sensation in our kitchen on cold Sunday mornings!)

VANILLA CRANBERRY SAUCE



Vanilla Cranberry Sauce image

Now THIS is worth writing home about, so here I am! I wanted to do something different with my cranberry sauce this year. Enough of the citrus, no shallots for making compote...vanilla! I have a few dried out beans that I've been hoarding! Now that we have a supply of fresh beans, time to use the old - why not drop one in the cranberry sauce? How bad could it be? OMG.....it was divine!!! Vanilla sugar adds extra vanilla flavr but you can certainly use regular sugar.

Categories     Sauces

Time 20m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 lb fresh cranberries
1 cup water
1 cup vanilla sugar
1 vanilla bean, old, dried out ones work well here

Steps:

  • Put all ingredients in a medium saucepan & bring to a boil.
  • Simmer about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Pull out the vanilla bean, slice open & scrape the seeds into the sauce. Add the bean back to the sauce & continue simmering & stirring occasionally until cranberries have popped.
  • Cool & serve or refrigerate. Remove bean just before serving.

Tips:

  • Use fresh cranberries: Fresh cranberries have a brighter flavor and more vibrant color than frozen cranberries.
  • Cook the cranberries until they burst: This will release their pectin and help to thicken the sauce.
  • Add sugar to taste: The amount of sugar you add will depend on how tart you like your sauce.
  • Add spices to taste: Common spices used in cranberry sauce include cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.
  • Let the sauce cool before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld together.

Conclusion:

Vanilla cranberry sauce is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be served with a variety of dishes. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like it tart, sweet, or spicy, there is a vanilla cranberry sauce recipe out there for you.
