Ultimate Cranberry Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• In a medium sized saucepan over medium heat, dissolve the sugar in the orange juice. Stir in the cranberries and cook until the cranberries start to pop (about 10 minutes). Remove from heat and place sauce in a bowl. Cranberry sauce will thicken as it cools.

Steps:

• Empty a 12-ounce bag of fresh or frozen cranberries into a saucepan and transfer 1/2 cup to a small bowl. Add 1 cup sugar, 1 strip orange or lemon zest and 2 tablespoons water to the pan and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and the cranberries are soft, about 10 minutes. Increase the heat to medium and cook until the cranberries burst, about 12 minutes. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the reserved cranberries. Add sugar, salt and pepper to taste and cool to room temperature before serving.

Steps:

• Combine the sugar, orange zest and juice, and ginger in a pot over medium heat; cook and stir until the sugar is completely dissolved, about 5 minutes. Add the cranberries to the orange juice mixture; cook until the cranberries pop, about 5 minutes. Stir the pecans through the cranberry mixture; remove from heat and allow to cool completely before serving.
