Homemade Grapefruit & Cranberry Sauce

In a medium sauce pan over medium heat, mix the orange juice, honey and brown sugar in a pot until sugar has dissolved. Add the cranberries, grapefruit (segmented/supremed), rind (slice up 1/2 of the rind for some additional bitterness or zest it), vanilla and cinnamon to the mixture and stir until the cranberries begin to pop. Once they start to pop and explode, take the pan off the heat, cover and let stand for 15-20 minutes.

Don’t be concerned if it looks too “liquidy” (it may not be a word, but it is now). It begins to come together when it’s off the heat.

Give it a taste; you definitely can sweeten it up at this point if it’s too tart, but enjoy the cranberry goodness. I usually transfer it to a bowl at this point and wait for it to cool down before placing it into the fridge, and then it really comes together.

Slather on everything and happy Thanksgiving wherever you’re from!
