Orange Maple Cranberry Sauce Recipes

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.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, combine the cranberries, syrup, honey and orange zest. Cook over medium heat until the berries pop, about 15 minutes. Cover and store in the refrigerator.

Steps:

• Mix sugar with water and bring to boil. Simmer over moderately high heat for about 5 minutes, or until liquid becomes slightly syrupy.
• Add cranberries and simmer an additional 5 minutes, or until berries begin to pop. Add orange rind, juice, maple syrup and ginger and simmer another 2 to 3 minutes.
• Pour sauce into hot, sterilized jars. Sauce will keep in refrigerator two to three weeks. It may be frozen for longer storage.
