Cranberry Sauce for Pouring

Cranberry Sauce for Pouring is filed under Sauces and built around oz fresh cranberries or you can use previously frozen fresh cranberries, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Plan on 12 servings.

Count on 5 minutes of prep, 1 hour of cooking, about 1 hour from the first measurement to the plate.

Ingredients Method

What goes in the bowl

• 12 oz fresh cranberries or you can use previously frozen fresh cranberries
• ½ cup light brown sugar
• ¼ cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup apple cider natural (not vinegar!)
• 1 small granny smith apple peeled and finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 whole star anise
• 5 cardamom pods or more, just make sure you count so you can find them all!
• ½ teaspoon fresh tangerine zest bright orange parts only

How the cooking goes

1. In a small saucepan, heat the cranberries, sugars, and apple cider over a lively flame until the sauce boils and the cranberries pop.
2. Put the remaining ingredients and simmer for 30 minutes. Remove the star anise and cardamom pods. You could stop cooking it at this point but it helps to cook the cranberry sauce for at least an hour.
3. After simmering for an additional 30 minutes, allow to cool or serve warm.

After it comes off the heat

Cool the pot before it goes into the refrigerator. It reheats gently on the stove the next day.
