Provided by Karen Stephenson

Categories     Miscellaneous

Time 55m

Yield Makes 2 cups.

Number Of Ingredients 4

3 cups highbush cranberries (stems removed)
1 cup organic cane sugar
2 teaspoons orange zest
juice of 1 orange

Steps:

  • Pass the raw highbush cranberries through a food mill. The seeds and skins should easily be left behind. You will be left with a pulpy red juice.
  • Pour the raw juice into a heavy-bottomed pan and add the remaining ingredients.
  • Over medium heat bring the ingredients to a low boil, so that large bubbles rise around the edge of the pot. Turn the heat down to medium-low so that the mixture remains at a very slow boil.
  • Continue to cook skimming off and discarding any froth that rises to the top of the pan, for about 20 to 30 minutes, or until the sauce resembles the texture of jam. You can test this by dropping 5 drops onto a metal spoon and placing the spoon in the freeze for a minute. If the sauce is ready, it will resemble the texture of jam after being in the freezer. If it is not like jam, it will still be runny, and will need to be cooked down further and retested until it has become jam-like in consistency.
  • Pour the sauce into a sterilized jar. Let cool to room temperature.
  • Refrigerate the sauce until you are ready to use it. It may be served cold or warmed up.

HIGHBUSH CRANBERRY CRANBERRY SAUCE



Highbush Cranberry Cranberry Sauce image

You can tweak the proportions of vinegar, water and wine here if you like, depending on availability and taste. But, using only water will taste like the sauce was made with only water. The sauce will change, develop and mellow over time. Makes about 2 cups

Provided by Alan Bergo

Categories     Condiment

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 cups (1 lb) highbush cranberries
¼ cup white wine vinegar*
1/2 cup dry white wine*
3/4 cup water
½ cup apple sauce (or more to thicken to taste)
Zest of ¼ an orange
½ oz piece of ginger (grated*)
Tiny pinch each ground cloves and allspice
2 oz honey

Steps:

  • Pulse the berries in a food processor or otherwise mash them up very well, then mix with the wine, water and vinegar and infuse overnight (stirring well a few times if you can remember).
  • The next day, pass the mixture through a food mill, or strain through strainer, pressing out the juices.
  • Combine all ingredients in a small pot, heat and bring to a simmer whisking, until thickened.
  • If you want it more thick, add some extra apple sauce, but don't add too much or it will dilute the color.
  • From here the sauce can be made and refrigerated for a week before serving, or canned. Serve warm or cold.
