HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!! I have a little secret for you....I like cranberry sauce, but only the "fresh" stuff. I find the cranberry jello in a can revolting. Everyone in my family loves it! Most of my friends love it! Me? Not so much.
Here's a cranberry sauce that's easy and so much tastier than the canned stuff.
Cranberry Sauce
1 pound fresh cranberries, washed and dried
2 cups granulated sugar
1/3 cup water
1 cinnamon stick (or a 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon)
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 orange, zested and juiced
In a medium pot, combine the cranberries, sugar and water. Stir to blend. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat. Reduce to a simmer and add the cinnamon stick (or ground cinnamon), allspice and nutmeg. Stir to blend and simmer for an additional 5 to 7 minutes. Some of the cranberries will burst and some will remain whole. Add the orange juice and zest, stir and allow to cool before serving.
