Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Sweet and Tangy Cranberry Sauce.
Step 1
To create a delightful cranberry sauce, start by grabbing a heavy saucepan and combining white sugar, brown sugar, fresh orange juice, water, and a sprinkle of ground cinnamon.
Step 2
Stir the mixture gently until the sugars dissolve completely, creating a sweet and aromatic base.
Step 3
Next, toss in the cranberries and bring the mixture to a lively boil over medium heat.
Step 4
As the cranberries heat up, you’ll notice them starting to pop—this is when the magic happens! Allow the sauce to bubble away for about 10 minutes, letting the cranberries burst and release their tangy flavor.
Step 5
If you like a thicker sauce, take a spoon and gently mash any stubborn cranberries that haven’t popped yet.
Step 6
Once you’re happy with the consistency, reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for an additional 5 to 10 minutes.
Step 7
This will help deepen the flavors and thicken the sauce to your liking.
Step 8
When it’s just right, remove the saucepan from the heat and pour your beautiful cranberry sauce into a bowl.
Step 9
Let it cool for a bit before refrigerating it until you’re ready to serve.
Step 10
Keep in mind that the sauce will thicken even more as it cools, making it the perfect accompaniment to your holiday feast.
Step 11
Enjoy the sweet and tangy burst of flavors that will surely impress your family and friends!.
