"Baked Cranberry Sauce" - 10 servings

1 cup flaked coconut
1 cup orange marmalade
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup water

In large bowl, combine all ingredients; pour into a greased 11x7x2" baking dish. Bake, uncovered, at 350* for 25-30 minutes or until cranberries are tender. Serve warm or cold. Refrigerate leftovers.

Answer 4

Margcolins' idea is a very good way to cook cranberries.

You can also cook cranberries in a simple syrup (sugar and water) and add orange zest.

One of the kitchen queen's friends likes to add citrus-infused rum to the cooking pot. (Sounds like it tastes good, but I haven't tried it yet. If you do, remember to take the pot off the live flame before adding some "good-time juice").

Happy cooking,
kitchen queen

Answer 5

Definitely with sugar. Cranberries are a difficult fruit to eat on their own because they are so tart. If you don't want to use a lot of refined sugar, why not try cooking them in fruit juices or your favorite liquer?

Answer 6

The easiest way is to cook them in orange juice (just enough juice to almost cover them). Cook them until they pop open. Add honey to taste.

Answer 7

Sugar. Lots and Lots of Sugar.
