Julia's Cranberry Sauce

cinnamon cranberry orange sauce

As requested, here is my favourite recipe for cranberry sauce. I usually make this for Thanksgiving, but it can be used in cakes, in frozen yogourt, or eaten as-is. It's very tasty, and super easy!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup (240 ml) brown sugar
  • 1 cup (240 ml) orange juice
  • 1 package fresh cranberries (12oz or 350g)
  • pinch cinnamon (or to taste)
  • pinch nutmeg (or to taste)
  • (optional) pinch cardamom

Method

  1. Combine sugar and orange juice in pot over medium heat.
  2. When mixture is boiling, add cranberries. Bring back to a boil, then reduce heat.
  3. Simmer for 10 minutes or so, until cranberries start to pop.
  4. Allow to cool to room temperature. It will thicken as it cools. Refrigerate until use.

Some recipes call for the addition of other ingredients, which might be interesting to shake things up a bit. These include: walnuts, pecans, blueberries, raisins, currants, allspice, orange zest

Thank you Julia, we all love this recipe.
