Homemade Cranberry Sauce


This cranberry sauce has been made by my Mama for years. Ok truth be told I do not like cranberry sauce. Unless it is a chutney or jam. There now you know. But everyone besides me loves it. The grand ole' Turkey Fry is always at our house. I like it a bit on the tangy side as they do in Europe here in the good ole U S of A we sweeten everything. 





This is a very simple recipe as they all are for cranberry sauce. When it tis the season buy extra cranberries so you can make some Holiday gifts like Cranberry Chutney or Cranberry Blackberry Jam

 

Ingredients

4 cups of fresh cranberries or 1 bag of cranberries
1/2 cup sugar
Juice from one orange
Zest from the one orange
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of freshly ground nutmeg





Cooking cranberry sauce is probably the easiest thing to do during the holiday's. You simply drop all the ingredients into a sauce pot and let it simmer till the little red cranberries pop open and all the flavors get together and thickens.




Cranberry sauce has so many delightful uses during the holidays. From the usual Turkey garnish to cookies cakes and biscuits it is one of those great seasonal fruit's. There is an endless list of things you can add to your cranberry sauce to personalize it. People add wine, almonds, ginger, cinnamon, maple syrup. Have fun
