Instructions:
Cook the cranberries: In a saucepan, combine the cranberries and orange juice. Bring it to a boil over medium heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes, or until the cranberries start to burst.
Add the sweeteners: Stir in the brown sugar, honey, and cinnamon. Let it continue to simmer for another 5 minutes, until the sauce thickens.
Cool and serve: Remove the sauce from the heat and let it cool. The sauce will thicken as it cools. Once it has reached your desired consistency, transfer it to a serving dish and chill in the fridge until ready to serve.
This cranberry sauce can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge for up to a week. This makes it a great side dish for any leftover turkey sandwiches or as a topping for breakfast waffles or pancakes.
Adding Your Own Twist
This basic recipe can be easily customized to suit your taste preferences. You can add a splash of vanilla extract or orange zest for an extra layer of flavor. For a boozy twist, you can also add a splash of brandy or red wine to the sauce while it simmers.
For those who prefer a more savory cranberry sauce, you can add a sprinkle of thyme or rosemary to the sauce while it cooks. And for a spicy kick, you can add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes or jalapeno peppers to the mix.
With this versatile recipe, you can get creative and make a cranberry sauce that perfectly suits your taste buds.
