How To Make Cranberry Sauce Recipe With Orange
Like the ingredients, the process of making this cranberry sauce recipe with orange is rather simple, to the point, and no nonsense. Here’s what you’ll have to do.
- Add the cranberries, orange zest and juice to a small sauce pan, and begin to heat slightly lower than medium heat. When you hear the cranberries beginning to pop and boil after having reduced a bit, stir well and then add all the sugar, ground cinnamon and ground nutmeg. Stir to incorporate these ingredients.
- When the mixture has returned to bubbling gently, stir once more, turn the heat to low and then partially cover the small sauce pan with the lid. Now just stir occasionally until almost all the cranberries are popped and it has a cohesive texture (about 15 minutes). Then, remove the cranberry sauce from the heat and cover completely for at leastan hour, or until mostly cool. Store in the refrigerator until ready to use, or eat right away.
