Don’t Buy Pre-Made Cranberry Sauce
November 9th 2009 -
Why buy pre-made, when fresh can be so simple? Fresh or frozen cranberries are available widely around the holidays, and fresh cranberry sauce is so simple to make at home. With fewer than five ingredients, it’s easy to prepare your own in just about 15 minutes.
Ingredients:
1/3 to 1/2 cup sugar
One 12-ounce bag of fresh or frozen cranberries
1/3 cup orange juice
1/4 cup Grand Marnier
2 to 3 tablespoons orange marmalade
Directions:
If using fresh cranberries, wash, pick through, and dry thoroughly.
In a medium saucepan, mix 1/3 cup of sugar with remaining ingredients. Taste to adjust sweetness and add more sugar if desired.
Place over medium-high heat and simmer, stirring occasionally until the berries pop.
You may serve hot or cold.
