Special Cranberry Sauce SOURCE: chelseasmessyapron.com

We all have our favorite cranberry sauce recipes (Grandma’s comes to mind). This recipe, although a little different, is perfectly tart, sweet and easy to make. We’re including it in this issue in case you’re in the mood to try something new this year, but want a little time to test it out before putting it on the table next month at Thanksgiving.

INGREDIENTS

• 1/2 cup 100% orange juice • 1/2 cup 100% cranberry juice

• 1 bag (12 ounces) cranberries • Pinch of salt • 1/2 cup white sugar • 1/4 cup brown sugar (light or dark, but the recommendation is dark)

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Wash and dry the cranberries. Make sure to check the cranberries for any stems or bad cranberries and remove. (Nothing ruins a good sauce like branches in it!) 2. In a mediumsized saucepan over medium heat, dissolve both sugars in the orange and cranberry juice. 3. Once the sugar is dissolved, stir in the cranberries and a pinch of salt. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat and then reduce to a simmer over medium low heat. Stir to blend and simmer for an additional 7-12 minutes. (Watch carefully as the sauce can bubble up!) Some of the cranberries will burst and some will remain whole -- you can mash up more cranberries as desired. (If the sauce is thickening too quickly, lower the temperature a bit and alternatively if it isn't thickening, increase the temperature a bit) 4. Remove from heat and place sauce in a bowl. Cranberry sauce will thicken more as it cools. Store for up to a week in an airtight container in the fridge.
