Im giving it up....

My cranberry sauce recipe that is.....jeesh! Mind out of the gutter people!

Some may really like that cylindrical jelly substance, but for me? Id rather have something real. My cranberry sauce is sweet and tart and wonderfully spreadable.

I started making homemade cranberry sauce about five years ago. If I tried to stop, there are people in my family that may hold me at gun point at the stove to make sure it gets on their table every holiday season.

Yea ...you know who you are....


4 cups cranberries
4cups sugar
2 cups water
2 oranges
1 package liquid pectin
1 package craisins


Start with fresh whole cranberries, two cups of them.


put those babies in a big stock pot with two cups of sugar


while they do their thing zest and juice two oranges



Once the cranberries have softened, and the wonderful popping has slowed add one package liquid pectin and boil for about 2 min now transfer them to a food processor or use an immersion blender.

 

blend the berries...but not too much. We are not making syrup.
 


Now add the orange juice, zest and Craisins

I now put it in canning jars for easy gifting....add a little bow and its just adorable



enjoy
