Talking Turkey - how 'bout Cranberry Sauce

[Cloudsmoker]

Anyone got a recipe for fresh cranberries they wouldn't mind sharing?
Thanks.

This is what I use. Super easy and really good. 3 ingredients and you can easily tweak if you want

12 ounces cranberries (this is the normal cranberry bag size I think)
1 cup white sugar (or brown sugar)
1 cup orange juice (or water if you don't want it with so much citrus flavor)
-Put all this in a pot and heat to a simmer and cook for 10-15mins till all the berries pop.

You can add other spices like cinnamon or nutmeg. Also can cut the sugar. I make it the day before and put it in the fridge.

That sounds way too easy. Pretty sure Ive been over-cooking mine.
Thank you.

Here is a good basic recipe. http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/cranber...-i/detail.aspx

In our house we chunk up an orange, then add that and a handful of walnuts to the pot. Good stuff!

Mama always opened the can, shook it until the stuff glopped out, sliced it and if feeling fancy, would slice again into half circles to make it look all festive like.

Yep...that's how we do it as well somewhat.
Usually I add a bit of Stroh rum.
If I'm using it for a glaze I add some butter,salt,pepper,garlic/onion/cayenne powder.

Not a sauce to eat plain, but a little something for the bird or the ham.

Cranberry Horseradish Sauce

2 c. Raw Cranberries
1 sm Onion
1/2 c. sugar
3/4 c. sour cream
2 T. your favorite Horseradish. ( the hotter the better )

Grind onion and cranberries in a blender really well then add sugar, sour cream and horseradish.

Your comment brought a smile to my face. I have fond memories of similar experiences.

Thanks for that link bro. The cranberry sauce looks intriquing. Gonna ask my better half what she thinks about making some for Thanksgiving.

You won't be disappointed. We substituted tangerines and Cointreau.

Take a mason jar, large is good, fill it with fresh cranberries, add 1/2 cup sugar and then top off with brandy. Let sit in fridge tightly covered for one week. Shake daily. After one week, the brandy should taste great, the cranberries can be heated along with a little orange juice, some honey and salt to taste and served as a side.

Looks and sounds great but will it jiggle?

I prefer cranberry relish. 1 lb. cranberries, 1 whole orange quartered, 1.5 c. sugar. Throw it all in a food processor, chop the chit out of it, transfer to a bowl, cover and refrigerate for 24 hours before serving. Delicious.
