Cranberry Sauce
It doesn’t have to be a holiday for you to serve this healthy, delicious cranberry sauce. I love making this side dish throughout the year because it’s a delicious (and sneaky) way to add this superfood to my family’s diet.
Equipment
- medium sauce pan
- measuring cups
- spatula
Ingredients
- 1 & 1/2 cups water
- 1 & 1/2 cups sugar
- 12 oz washed cranberries
Instructions
- In a saucepan, combine water and sugar and bring to a boil over medium-high heat while stirring to dissolve sugar.
- Boil rapidly for 5 minutes and then add cranberries.
- Stir cranberries and continue to boil until the skins pop (about 3-4 minutes). At this point you can remove the mixture, refrigerate, and it will be a liquid sauce. However, you can continue to cook until it becomes a molded sauce.
- If making a molded cranberry sauce, stir and boil the cranberries for a total of 13-16 minutes until it thickens. Stir frequently to prevent scorching on the bottom of the pan.
- Remove from heat, pour into a dish, and refrigerate.
