Homemade Cranberry Sauce
Cranberry sauce is that wonderful accompaniment to our traditional turkey dinners during holidays. There is something about the sweet tangy taste of this sauce that works so well with turkey. It's great on sandwiches with leftovers too!
Ingredients
- 8 to 12 ounces cranberries, fresh
- 1/2 cup water, or orange juice
- 2 to 3 tablespoons sugar
- 2 to 3 tablespoons butter
Instructions
- Simmer the cranberries in the water for several minutes. When cooked rub the mixture through a sieve if you want the sauce to be less chunky (but leave it if you want some whole berries through it and see below). Add sugar to taste and the butter. Stir to mix through.
- For an chunkier sauce make a syrup of water and sugar. Drop in the cranberries and cook until it becomes a thick mixture. Add the butter at the end and stir to mix in.
