CRANBERRY SAUCE WITH BOURBON AND ORANGE



Cranberry Sauce with Bourbon and Orange image

Michael Symon's family often breaks into a heated debate during Thanksgiving - but only because they can't agree on whether cranberry sauce should be canned or homemade. Most of his relatives are OK with canned, but not Michael, which is why he came up with this flavorful sauce. "This is my attempt to sway my family with the magic of bourbon," he says.

Categories     side-dish

Time 45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups sugar
1/2 cup bourbon
2 cinnamon sticks
2 large coins peeled fresh ginger
Zest of 1 orange, plus juice of 4 oranges
1 pound (about 4 cups) cranberries, thawed if frozen
1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise and seeds scraped

Steps:

  • Combine the sugar and bourbon in a 1-quart saucepan, stirring well. Add the cinnamon sticks, ginger and orange zest and juice. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Reduce the heat to medium low and simmer until the liquid begins to reduce a bit, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Add the cranberries and vanilla bean and seeds to the pan and continue to simmer until the cranberries are soft and breaking apart and the sauce begins to thicken, 12 to 15 minutes. If desired, mash your cranberries with a sturdy whisk or potato masher, just to break them up, and simmer to thicken a little bit more, about 5 minutes.
  • Remove the pan from the heat and discard the cinnamon sticks, ginger pieces and vanilla bean. Let the sauce cool. Serve warm or at room temperature, or refrigerate for up to 10 days - the flavors only get better as they chill out in the fridge.

Tips:

  • Use fresh or frozen cranberries: Fresh cranberries are best, but frozen cranberries can also be used. If using frozen cranberries, thaw them before using.
  • Choose sour cherries that are ripe and tart: Sour cherries add a nice tartness to the sauce. If you can't find sour cherries, you can use another type of tart cherry, such as Montmorency cherries.
  • Use a good quality rum: The rum adds a nice flavor to the sauce. Use a rum that you enjoy drinking.
  • Don't overcook the sauce: The sauce should be cooked until the cranberries and cherries are softened, but not mushy. Overcooking the sauce will make it too thick and tart.
  • Let the sauce cool before serving: The sauce will thicken as it cools. Let it cool for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Conclusion:

This cranberry sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make recipe that is perfect for the holidays. The sour cherries and rum add a nice tartness and complexity to the sauce. It is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
