Categories     side-dish

Time 12h30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

1/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
1/4 cup 100 percent cranberry juice, not cocktail
1 cup honey
1 pound fresh cranberries, approximately 4 cups

Steps:

  • Wash the cranberries and discard any soft or wrinkled ones.
  • Combine the orange juice, cranberry juice and honey in a 2-quart saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil and then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 5 minutes. Add the cranberries and cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries burst and the mixture thickens. Do not cook for more than 15 minutes as the pectin will start to break down and the sauce will not set as well. Remove from the heat and allow to cool for 5 minutes.
  • Carefully spoon the cranberry sauce into a 3 cup mold. Place in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours and up to overnight.
  • Remove from the refrigerator, overturn the mold and slide out the sauce. Slice and serve.

TART CRANBERRY DIPPING SAUCE

Skip the traditional canned cranberry sauce and mix up this refreshingly tart cranberry dipping sauce instead; it's turkey's perfect pairing. I find that dipping sauce provides an unexpected way to deliver on some expected Thanksgiving flavors. Not to mention, it's also a whole lot easier to make than classic giblet gravy. This recipe first appeared in Season 1 of Good Eats.
