CRANBERRY SAUCE WITH PECANS



CRANBERRY SAUCE WITH PECANS image

Categories     Sauce     Fruit     Side     Thanksgiving     Simmer

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup water
1 cup white sugar
1 (12 ounce) package fresh cranberries
1 orange, peeled and pureed
1 apple - peeled, cored and diced
1 pear - peeled, cored and diced
1 cup chopped dried mixed fruit
1 cup chopped pecans
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Steps:

  • 1. In a medium saucepan, boil water and sugar until the sugar dissolves. Reduce the heat to simmer, and stir in cranberries, pureed orange, apple, pear, dried fruit, pecans, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Cover, and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries burst. Remove from heat, and let cool to room temperature.

Tips:

  • Use fresh or frozen cranberries. Fresh cranberries are available in the fall and winter months, while frozen cranberries can be found year-round. If using frozen cranberries, thaw them before using.
  • Choose a good quality orange. The orange zest and juice add a lot of flavor to the sauce, so it's important to use a good quality orange. Look for an orange that is heavy for its size and has a bright, deep orange color.
  • Use pure maple syrup or honey. Pure maple syrup or honey will add a delicious sweetness to the sauce. Avoid using artificial sweeteners, as they can leave a bitter aftertaste.
  • 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 tough and chewy.
  • Add the pecans at the end. Adding the pecans at the end will prevent them from getting overcooked and chewy.

Conclusion:

Cranberry sauce with pecans is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for the holiday season. It is a great way to use up fresh or frozen cranberries, and it can be made ahead of time. The sauce can be served warm or cold, and it is a great addition to any holiday meal.
