Avoid The Can: How To Make Cranberry Sauce From Scratch

Ingredients:

• 3 cups (12 ounces) fresh, or frozen and thawed, cranberries
• 3/4 cup sugar
• finely grated zest from a whole orange
• juice of half an orange
• Tools:
  • a medium saucepan

  Directions:

  1. Combine cranberries, sugar, orange zest, and orange juice in medium saucepan.
  2. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Once the mixture boils, reduce the heat to low.
  3. Simmer the sauce until the cranberries are soft and start to fall apart, about 30 minutes. Then remove from heat—the sauce will thicken some as it cools.

  Next, all you have to do is put it in a decorative bowl and enjoy. See, what did we tell you…simple! Sure breaking out the can opener and letting the congealed cranberry splat onto the platter is super simple but there is something about homemade that just warms the heart.
