Cranberry Sauce With Cinnamon And Brandy Recipes

BRANDIED CRANBERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• Rinse the cranberries before use. Sort cranberries and discard anything that looks odd.
• In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the cranberries, water, orange zest, orange juice, both sugars, and cinnamon sticks.
• Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to simmer. Be careful! Watch the cranberries closely. They can bubble up and could possibly boil over if you are not watching them.
• Simmer the cranberry mixture for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Stir in the brandy and continue to simmer until cranberries begin to burst and the sauce reduces slightly; about 5 more minutes.
• Turn off the heat. Remove the cinnamon sticks from the cranberry sauce.
• Stir in the vanilla extract and pour the sauce into a serving dish or storage container. Allow the sauce to cool and thicken up; 30 minutes.

• Add remaining cranberries and cover, leaving your pot on the burner (with heat off) for another 5 minutes until whole cranberries soften.
• Transfer to a serving bowl and allow to cool before serving.

CRANBERRY SAUCE WITH CINNAMON AND BRANDY

Steps:

• Combine cranberries, orange juice, brandy, into a pot. Stir the sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and nutmeg into the pot, ensuring that they disolve completely into the mixture. Bring the pot to a boil on medium-high heat. Lower heat to a simmer and stir the mixture every so often until it thickens and/or cranberries are to your desired softness. Note: For a less tart flavor, more sugar can be added. For a stronger flavor more brandy, cinnamon, or nutmeg can be added. If additional brandy is desired, it may require more corn starch to thicken sufficiently.

CRANBERRY SAUCE WITH BOURBON AND ORANGE

Steps:

• Combine the sugar and bourbon in a 1-quart saucepan, stirring well. Add the cinnamon sticks, ginger and orange zest and juice. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Reduce the heat to medium low and simmer until the liquid begins to reduce a bit, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Add the cranberries and vanilla bean and seeds to the pan and continue to simmer until the cranberries are soft and breaking apart and the sauce begins to thicken, 12 to 15 minutes. If desired, mash your cranberries with a sturdy whisk or potato masher, just to break them up, and simmer to thicken a little bit more, about 5 minutes.
• Remove the pan from the heat and discard the cinnamon sticks, ginger pieces and vanilla bean. Let the sauce cool. Serve warm or at room temperature, or refrigerate for up to 10 days - the flavors only get better as they chill out in the fridge.
