Peach Schnapps Cranberry Sauce image

Fresh cranberry sauce is always the best and this is an amazing recipe. We love the slightly chunky texture along with the flavor of the orange juice, peach schnapps, and lemon. The mulled spices should not be optional in our minds. The minute we added them to the sauce our kitchen smelled like a holiday candle was burning in the...

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 11

12 oz bag of cranberries, fresh
1 c cane sugar
1/2 c water
1/2 c orange juice
1/2 c peach schnapps
1/2 lemon, juiced
OPTIONAL (FOR MULLED FLAVOR SAUCE)
1/2 tsp clove, ground
1/2 tsp cinnamon, ground
1/4 tsp anise seed
1/2 tsp ginger paste

Steps:

  • 1. Rinse the cranberries and go through them thoroughly to remove any stems and throw away the "bad ones" (ones that are heavily bruised and brownish).
  • 2. Add water, orange juice, lemon juice, and peach schnapps to a saucepan. Heat over medium heat.
  • 3. Add the sugar. Occasionally stir until sugar is dissolved and the mixture starts to boil. You can use less sugar (3/4 - 1 cup) if you prefer a more tart cranberry sauce or increase the sugar up to 1 1/4 cups if you prefer a sweeter sauce.
  • 4. Add the cranberries.
  • 5. OPTIONAL: If making the mulled version, add the spices and ginger paste. You can adjust these to taste.
  • 6. Bring back to a boil.
  • 7. Continue to cook until just about all of the cranberries have popped and the sauce has thickened, usually about 25 minutes or so. Then allow to cool and refrigerate. The sauce will form a gelatin consistency when refrigerated.
  • 8. **If you prefer a smoother textured sauce, you can pulse it in a food processor right after it has cooled down and then refrigerate.
