Cranberry Sauce

Ingredients

0 of 6 out on the counter

• 12 oz fresh or frozen cranberries
• ⅓ cup granulated sugar
• ½ cup water
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 large orange, peeled and cut in segments
• A pinch of salt

All set! Everything is out. Time to bake.

Method

1. 1Pick over the berries and toss any that are soft or shriveled. Frozen berries go in as they are.
2. 2Put the sugar, water and salt in a medium pot over medium heat and stir until the sugar melts.
3. 3Add the cranberries and bring to a gentle boil. Turn the heat to low and simmer, stirring now and then, 15 to 20 minutes. Water boils cooler here, so give it the longer end. It is done when most berries have split and the sauce coats a spoon.
4. 4Stir in the lemon juice and the orange segments and take the pot off the heat. It looks loose now but sets as it cools.
5. 5Cool to room temperature, then chill. Serve cold or at room temperature.
