Ahhh, the lowly Cranberry sauce. Most of my generation know it as the jelly type stuff that plops out of the can. Rounds are sliced off for everyone with the rings from the tin can being the perfect template. Great for turkey sandwiches though!
Several years ago, I discovered that cranberry sauce can be made from scratch. I've made many, most were very tart, strong and made you pucker your lips! This year was different. I've perfected my cranberry sauce recipe.
Zest from 1 Orange
Zest from 1 Lime
Juice from 2 Oranges
Juice from 2 Lime
1 cup Sugar
2 cup fresh cranberries
1 1/2 cup frozen fruit medley (Blueberries, Raspberries, Blackberries)
2 Cinnamon sticks
Zest the Orange and Lime and then juice each along with an additional Orange and Lime. Place the juice in a small saucepan. Add the sugar. Bring to a boil then add cranberries, frozen fruit, cinnamon sticks and fruit zest. Allow to boil down to approximately one half volume. Once it cools it will thicken slightly.
Enjoy!
