I got this recipe from a mother's blog I follow and tried it this year... AMAZING. I didn't have OJ concentrate, so squeezed a fresh orange into the mixture and it was still great.

Time 20m

Yield 2 cups, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup water
1 cup white sugar
1 (12 ounce) bag fresh cranberries
1 apple, peeled & diced
1 pear, peeled & diced
1/4 cup frozen orange juice concentrate
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg (I like mine freshly ground)

Steps:

  • Put water and sugar in a medium pot and bring to a boil, dissolving sugar.
  • Add the rest of the ingredients and bring back to a boil.
  • Cover, turn heat to low, and simmer for 30 minutes or until cranberries pop.
  • Let cool to room temperature and enjoy! You can serve it warm or chilled.

Tips:

  • Use fresh cranberries for the best flavor. Frozen cranberries can be used in a pinch, but they will not have the same bright, tart flavor as fresh berries.
  • Rinse the cranberries well before using them. This will help to remove any dirt or debris.
  • Do not overcook the cranberries. Overcooked cranberries will be mushy and lose their flavor.
  • Add sugar or other sweetener to taste. The amount of sugar you add will depend on your personal preference.
  • Serve cranberry sauce warm or at room temperature. Cranberry sauce can be served immediately or stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Cranberry sauce is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be enjoyed with a variety of dishes. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like it tart, sweet, or somewhere in between, there is a cranberry sauce recipe out there for you. So next time you are looking for a festive and flavorful addition to your holiday meal, be sure to give cranberry sauce a try.
