3 Ways To Make Cranberry Sauce
Hello there food lovers, today, we would be showing you how to make cranberry sauce in three different ways.
Ingredients
Recipe 1: Classic Cranberry Sauce
- 1 (12 ounce) bag fresh cranberries
- 1 cup water
- ½ cup sugar
- 2 1-by-4-inch strips orange peel
- Pinch of kosher salt
Recipe 2: Quick and Easy Cranberry Sauce
Things You Would Need:
- Fresh Cranberries: Opt for fresh cranberries that are firm, plump, and blemish-free. Lighter colored cranberries are best for sauce, as they contain more pectin and result in a thicker consistency.
- Sugar: White sugar does more than add sweetness to classic cranberry sauce: It also absorbs liquid and, when heated, thickens the sauce
- Orange Juice: All cranberry sauce starts with a liquid base. If you don't like orange juice, you can substitute pomegranate juice or even red wine.
- Tips: Cranberry sauce is a fantastic make-ahead side dish. Since it needs to chill to create the perfect consistency before serving, it might actually benefit you to make it at least one day before you plan to serve it.
