Description

Nothing compares to the taste of fresh vs. canned. I grew-up on the canned cranberry sauce. It was beautiful, but the taste was nothing compared to this!

Fresh cranberries, tart apples, walnuts, lemon & orange juice, orange zest, seasonal spices…and of course, Grand Marnier!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1 cup Water
  • 16 ounces, weight Fresh Cranberries
  • 1 whole Granny Smith Apple
  • 1 cup Walnuts, Chopped
  • ¼ cups Grand Marnier Liqueur (or Additional Freshly Juiced Orange Juice)
  • ½ whole Lemon, Juiced
  • ½ whole Orange, Juiced
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon, Ground
  • ½ teaspoons Nutmeg, Ground (freshly Grated Is Best)
  • ⅛ teaspoons Cloves, Ground
  • ½ teaspoons Orange Zest

Preparation

In a large saucepan, combine the sugar and water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring frequently.

Add the cranberries and return to a boil. Once a boil is reached, lower the heat so that the mixture simmers.

When you hear the popping of the cranberries and the liquid becomes a burgundy shade, it is time to add the rest of the ingredients.

Add apples, walnuts, Grand Marnier (or 1/4 cup additional fresh juiced orange), lemon and orange juices, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and orange zest.

Continue to simmer on low heat for 10-15 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and let the sauce cool.

Serve in a side bowl with any holiday dish!

Note: serving count based on a serving size of 1/2 cup.

Wow. This looks incredible! The only time I ever see fresh cranberries in the stores is around the holidays, so I’ll have to just save this in my recipe box until then. Thanks for posting it, I wish I could try it *now*. (Isn’t this new homemade ingredient section a blast?! I’m reading every recipe!)
