SLOW COOKER CRANBERRY SAUCE WITH PORT AND ORANGE



Slow Cooker Cranberry Sauce With Port and Orange image

This classic, sweet and tangy cranberry sauce tastes complex but is quite easy to make. The slow cooker method saves in-demand stovetop space for other Thanksgiving dishes, and the sauce keeps well in the refrigerator for at least one week.

Categories     sauces and gravies, side dish

Time 2h

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

24 ounces fresh or frozen, thawed cranberries (about 5 cups)
1 1/2 cups packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup ruby or tawny port
Finely grated zest of 1 orange
Kosher salt
Slow Cooker Method
Stovetop Method

Steps:

  • Put the cranberries into a 5- to 8-quart slow cooker. Scoop out about 3/4 cup of the berries and finely chop. Set aside. Stir the sugar, port and half the orange zest into the slow cooker. Season with a generous pinch of salt. Cover and cook on high for 1 hour and 30 minutes.
  • Stir the cranberry sauce well and set the lid back on the slow cooker so there is a 1- to 2-inch gap, to allow for evaporation. Cook on high for another 1 1/2 to 2 hours, stirring at least twice, taking care around the edges, until many of the berries have popped and the sauce has thickened and is syrupy. Stir in the reserved chopped cranberries and the remaining orange zest. Spoon the cranberry sauce into a serving bowl, cover, and chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
  • Put the cranberries into a medium saucepan. Scoop out about 3/4 cup of the berries and finely chop. Set aside. Add the sugar, port and half the orange zest into the pan, and stir. Season with a generous pinch of salt. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat and cook, stirring often, until many of the berries have popped and the sauce has thickened and is jammy and syrupy, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in the reserved chopped cranberries and the remaining orange zest. Spoon into a serving bowl, cover, and chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

ORANGE CRANBERRY SAUCE



Orange Cranberry Sauce image

Cranberries are one of the few fruits native to the northeastern United States, growing wild in bogs and swamps. Cranberries have become a staple at holiday meals, especially Thanksgiving. This is my kicked-up version of cranberry sauce. Recipes by Emeril Lagasse, from "Farm to Fork," HarperStudio, New York, 2010, courtesy Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, Inc.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Seafood Recipes

Yield 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 bag (12 ounces) cranberries
Grated zest and juice of 2 oranges
1/4 cup ruby port
3/4 cup sugar, or more to taste
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
1 cup toasted pecans or walnuts

Steps:

  • Combine the cranberries, orange zest and juice, port, sugar, cinnamon, and cardamom in a small saucepan, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries are tender and the sauce has thickened, about 10 minutes.
  • Taste, and add more sugar if desired. Stir in the nuts and set aside to cool. Serve at room temperature. (The sauce can be made up to 3 days in advance and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to serve.)

Tips:

  • Use fresh cranberries: Fresh cranberries have a tart and tangy flavor that pairs perfectly with the sweetness of the orange and port. If you can't find fresh cranberries, you can use frozen cranberries, but thaw them completely before using.
  • Choose a good quality port: The port you use will have a big impact on the flavor of the sauce. Look for a port that is rich and fruity, with a smooth finish. Avoid ports that are too sweet or too dry.
  • Don't overcook the sauce: The sauce should be cooked just until the cranberries have burst and the sauce has thickened. Overcooking the sauce will make it bitter.
  • Serve the sauce warm or cold: This sauce can be served warm or cold. If you're serving it warm, reheat it gently over low heat until it's warmed through. If you're serving it cold, chill it for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Conclusion:

This cranberry orange port sauce is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used to enhance a variety of dishes. It's perfect for serving with roasted turkey or chicken, pork chops, or grilled salmon. It can also be used as a glaze for ham or as a topping for cheesecake or ice cream. This sauce is a great way to add a touch of elegance to your holiday meals or special occasions.
