Provided by Kare for Kitchen Treaty

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 cups fresh or frozen cranberries
1/3 cup pure maple syrup + more if needed
1 tablespoon orange zest
1/2 cup fresh orange juice
1/2 cup water
Cinnamon stick

Steps:

  • Rinse the cranberries. Discard any mushy or underripe berries and stems.
  • Place a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat and add the cranberries, 1/3 cup pure maple syrup, orange zest, orange juice, water, and cinnamon stick. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture comes to a boil. Continue boiling over medium heat until the berries burst and break down, forming a sauce, 15-20 minutes.
  • Taste for sweetness. If it's too tart, add more syrup - a tablespoon at a time - until the sauce tastes sweet enough for you.
  • Remove from the heat and let cool. Spoon into your serving container to serve or store in an airtight container, refrigerated, for 3-4 days. You can also freeze your cranberry sauce for up to 2 months - I do this every Thanksgiving! Just place the sauce in an airtight container or zipper freezer bag and transfer to the freezer. Move to the fridge to thaw about 24-48 hours before the big meal.

Tips:

  • Using fresh cranberries is best, as they have a tarter flavor that complements the sweetness of the maple syrup and honey.
  • If you don't have fresh cranberries, you can use frozen cranberries. Just thaw them before using.
  • You can adjust the amount of maple syrup and honey to taste. If you like a sweeter sauce, add more maple syrup and honey. If you prefer a tarter sauce, add less.
  • If you want a thicker sauce, you can cook it for a longer period of time. Just be careful not to overcook it, as the sauce can become too thick and syrupy.
  • You can add other ingredients to the sauce, such as nuts, dried fruit, or spices. Just be careful not to add too much, as you don't want to overwhelm the flavor of the cranberries.

Conclusion:

This maple honey cranberry sauce is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used on a variety of dishes. It's perfect for Thanksgiving dinner, but it can also be used on chicken, pork, or fish. It's also a great way to add a touch of sweetness and tartness to your favorite desserts.
