semi-homemade cranberry sauce?

Question

Can anyone recommend a recipe using fresh cranberries and orange rind incorporated w/ canned jellied cranberry sauce for Thanksgiving?

Answer 1

honestly you don't need the jellied stuff. buy a package of ocean spray-- there's recipes on the back for homemade cranberry sauce. you boil sugar and water, then add the berries. you let the berries pop-- then what you can do is puree the berries a bit and i think the texture is much better. one trick though is to use half orange juice, half water. or better yet, fresh squeezed tangerine juice. it makes a more complex sauce. the trick too is to make it in the morning and cool it in the fridge for that 'jellied' consistency.

Answer 2

Emeril Cranberry Sauce

Answer 3

Here is emeril cranberry sauce -- the cornstarch thickens it.


2 cups cranberries
Juice and chopped zest of 1 orange
1/4 cup Port
1/2 cup sugar, or more if needed
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon cornstarch

In a small saucepan combine cranberries, orange juice and zest, port, sugar and cinnamon. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to simmering and cook until cranberries are tender, stirring occasionally. In a small cup make a slurry with cornstarch and 1 tablespoon water. Whisk cornstarch mixture into cranberry sauce and cook, whisking, until sauce thickens. Taste and add more sugar, if necessary.
