Homemade cranberry sauce cranked up a notch, with pure maple syrup and brown sugar, lemon zest, and a litany of warming, elevating spices.

Provided by Kare for Kitchen Treaty

Number Of Ingredients 10

12 ounces about 3 cups fresh cranberries, picked over, shriveled cranberries discarded
1/2 cup water
1/3 cup pure maple syrup + more to taste
2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
Zest from 1 medium lemon (save a little zest for the garnish if desired)
1 3-inch cinnamon stick
4 green cardamom pods
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
Pinch ground cloves

Steps:

  • Set a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add water, 1/3 cup pure maple syrup, and remaining ingredients. Stir to combine. Bring to a low bowl and cook, stirring occasionally, until most of the berries have burst and a sauce has formed, about 12 minutes. Taste and add additional pure maple syrup if desired (some cranberries are tarter than others, so you may need more than the recipe calls for). Remove from heat.
  • Remove cinnamon sticks and cardamom pods. The pods should be easy to spot because they swell and lighten up when cooking.
  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to serve, for up to 10 days. Or place in the freezer for up to 3 months.

CRANBERRY MAPLE SAUCE



Cranberry Maple Sauce image

A lovely holiday fruit sauce to serve with the traditional bird, with a couple of twists. Instead of straight-up sugar, a cup of pure maple syrup balances the tartness of the fruit. A cup of cranberry juice ensures the essential flavor remains the focus of the dish, and a bit of orange brightens the whole shebang. The Grand Marnier is optional. This is to say nothing of the texture, which to paraphrase the great Roseanne Conner, is "so far beyond canned sauce, that the light from canned sauce would take one billion years to reach the Earth." It is, in a word, awesome. Inspired by a Pioneer Woman recipe, via Kristen Swensson of Cheap, Healthy, Good.
