Homemade
Cranberry Sauce
Forget the
processed stuff in the can! I discovered this year that homemade cranberry
sauce is one of the easiest things to make… EVER! I significantly cut down on
the sugar for this recipe, because I like to reduce my sugar intake if possible
and I enjoy the natural tartness of cranberries. The result was AMAZING just
the right combination of tart and sweet.
1 C water
1/3 C
sugar
4 C fresh or
frozen cranberries
Optional:
blueberries (for natural sweetness!), orange zest, pecans, raisins, cinnamon,
nutmeg or allspice. (I added in the cinnamon and nutmeg)
1. Bring the sugar and water to a boil
while stirring to dissolve the sugar. Add cranberries. Once the mixture has
started to boil again reduce the heat and simmer until the cranberries burst
which should take about ten minutes.
2. Add in any optional ingredients you
would like.
3. Remove from heat and allow to cool
completely. Chill in refrigerator (the sauce will thicken as it cools).
4. Enjoy!
