Fresh Orange Cranberry Sauce
I found this recipe in my wife's 1978 cookbook called The Vegetarian Epicure Book Two. The cookbook is held together with some tape and lots of hope.
This is a great recipe for cranberry sauce for turkey or chicken. We prepare this every year for Thanksgiving but with all thats going on, be sure to put it on the table. One year we didn't.
INGREDIENTS
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 2 cups sugar
- 3 cups clean, picked- over cranberries
- 1 medium orange, chopped fine
- 1 tsp. ground ginger
- dash of cinnamon
- dash of cloves
- dash of cardamom powder
PREP WORK
Wash the cranberries and pick through them looking for any loose stems or stones. Peel and finely chop the orange and you are ready to start.
HOW TO MAKE AT HOME
Combine the sugar with 1 cup of the water in a medium-sized saucepan and heat until sugar dissolves. Add cranberries, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes, uncover, and simmer for another 10 minutes. Stir occasionally.
Add the remaining 1/2 cup of water, chopped orange, ginger, cinnamon, and cardamom powder, then simmer for 20 minutes, stirring often. Chill the sauce.
