Tips:
- Choose fresh cranberries: Fresh cranberries are tarter and have a more vibrant flavor than frozen cranberries. If you can, try to find fresh cranberries in season (usually from September to December).
- Use a food processor to chop the cranberries: This will save you time and effort, and it will also help to create a smoother sauce.
- Add sugar to taste: The amount of sugar you add to the sauce will depend on your personal preference. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
- Simmer the sauce for at least 15 minutes: This will help to thicken the sauce and allow the flavors to meld together.
- Serve the sauce warm or cold: Cranberry sauce can be served warm or cold. If you are serving it warm, reheat it gently over low heat until it is just warmed through.
- Garnish the sauce with fresh cranberries or orange zest: This will add a festive touch to your dish.
