Cranberry Sauce

Submitted by AnnRein

"This is a whole cranberry sauce I got from a Julia Child special some years back. It's delish! I usually cut the recipe in half, it makes a lot!"

 

• Ready In: 19mins
• Ingredients: 6
• Yields: 2 quarts
• Serves: 20

ingredients

• 3 lbs four packages cranberries, washed and picked over
• 2 cups sugar
• 2 cups brown sugar
• 3 grated oranges, rind of
• 1 cup orange juice
• 1⁄2 teaspoon cinnamon

directions

1. Put all ingredients into a roomy saucepan. Bring to a boil, stir and then cover. Lower the heat slightly, but keep boiling just until the berries burst - four to five minutes. Sauce jells when cool. Freeze leftovers, I use small 1/2 cup freezer containers, just the right size for a Sunday chicken dinner for two or three.

I, too, cut this recipe in half, and it still almost fills a 5 cup container. I made my husband, who swears he doesn't like cranberry sauce, try it. He can no longer say he doesn't like cranberry sauce. We both loved the orange in it!

I definitely cut this recipe in half, &, as said, it still made a lot! However, we like this kind of sauce (especially with the use of brown sugar & cinnamon) & it'll be gone in no time, I know! When I have enough left over, I also use it as part of the fruit ingredients for smoothies! Anyway, this recipe makes for A VERY NICE TASTING cranberry sauce, & the recipe is a keeper!
