Cranberry Sauce

Happy Thanksgiving! It’s time to make the cranberry sauce. Cranberry sauce and turkey go well together. Treat your family to homemade cranberry sauce, not the stuff in the can. I usually make this sauce the night before Thanksgiving.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups fresh cranberries washed with any stems removed

  • 1 cup sugar

  • 1 cup water

  • Optional, zest of orange

Directions

  • Wash the cranberries removing any stems or dirt particles. No need to dry them.
  • In a large pot, add the cranberries, water, and sugar.
  • Bring to a boil.
  • Once boiling, turn to a simmer.
  • Stir every 5 minutes or so. Cook until most of the cranberries have popped, about half hour.
  • Cool and refrigerate, or serve warm.

Notes

  • If you love the jellied cranberry sauce in a can, keep cooking down the berries until all of them have popped and the sauce is super thick, about one hour. Add to a clean can and refrigerate. Then empty onto a plate. Viola! You have the canned cranberry sauce!
