We love homemade cranberry sauce made with fresh cranberries, and this is a fantastic, easy to throw together recipe. It is slightly sweet and tangy with a hint of citrus flavor. Chunks of apples and pears are what make this cranberry sauce special. They add extra texture and sweetness. A delicious and beautiful cranberry sauce to add to your holiday table. The great cranberry debate; canned or homemade? Well I grew up with my grandmothers, aunts and my mother opening a can of cranberry sauce. It always came out of the can with the ridges intact and went to the table exactly that way. Now I will admit as a kid, it was one of the few things I liked at Thanksgiving; the sweet yet tangy flavor and the smooth consistency was a delight to the senses!When I started cooking myself one of the first holiday meals I tackles was Thanksgiving and the cranberry sauce was my highest priority to investigate and make my own. Over the years I have developed this easy cranberry sauce that is a continual crowd pleaser and has made its way into a specialty dessert of mine; Lemon cranberry Cake.
Ingredients :
- 2 package(s) fresh cranberries (12 oz each)
- 2 - apples
- 2 - pears
- 1 - lemon
- 1 cup(s) sugar
- 1/2 cup(s) orange juice, fresh
Intructions :
- Rinse and pick over the cranberries to make sure you don\u2019t have any bad ones
- Peel, core, and chop the apples and pears
- Finely grate the lemon peel. Then juice the lemon
- Place all the ingredients in a large enamel pot
- Cook over low/medium heat for about 45 minutes stirring every few minutes. The berries will pop and the sauce will thicken slightly
- Remove from the heat and chill. The sauce will be very thick when chilled
- That's it! That all you have to do to make a super delicious homemade cranberry sauce.
