Best 14 Cranberry Maple Sauce Recipes

MAPLE SYRUP CRANBERRY SAUCE

Steps:

ORANGE MAPLE CRANBERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• Rinse the cranberries. Discard any mushy or underripe berries and stems.
• Place a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat and add the cranberries, 1/3 cup pure maple syrup, orange zest, orange juice, water, and cinnamon stick. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture comes to a boil. Continue boiling over medium heat until the berries burst and break down, forming a sauce, 15-20 minutes.
• Taste for sweetness. If it's too tart, add more syrup - a tablespoon at a time - until the sauce tastes sweet enough for you.
• Remove from the heat and let cool. Spoon into your serving container to serve or store in an airtight container, refrigerated, for 3-4 days. You can also freeze your cranberry sauce for up to 2 months - I do this every Thanksgiving! Just place the sauce in an airtight container or zipper freezer bag and transfer to the freezer. Move to the fridge to thaw about 24-48 hours before the big meal.

MAPLE-MUSTARD TURKEY TENDERLOINS WITH CRANBERRY-PORT SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 350°F. Using kitchen string, tie each tenderloin crosswise in 3 or 4 places, spacing the ties at even intervals. Season the tenderloins with the salt and pepper. In a large ovenproof fry pan over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Add the turkey and cook, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes total. Remove from the heat. In a small bowl, stir together the maple syrup and mustard. Spread about half of the mixture over the tenderloins. Transfer the pan to the oven and cook for 10 minutes. Spread the remaining maple syrup mixture over the tenderloins, return to the oven and cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the tenderloins registers 165°F, about 10 minutes more. Meanwhile, in a heavy nonreactive saucepan over high heat, combine the cranberries, port, sugar and crystallized ginger and bring to a boil, stirring often. Reduce the heat to medium and cook, uncovered, at a brisk simmer, stirring often, until the berries have popped and the juices are syrupy, about 10 minutes. Fill a large bowl with ice water. When the sauce is ready, transfer it to a heatproof bowl and nest the bowl in the ice water bath. Let cool, then transfer to a serving bowl. When the tenderloins are done, transfer them to a carving board and let rest for 5 minutes. Snip the strings and cut the tenderloins crosswise into slices 1/2 inch thick. Divide the turkey evenly among warmed dinner plates, fanning the slices. Spoon some of the cranberry sauce next to each portion and serve immediately. Pass the remaining sauce at the table. Serves 4 to 6.
