Hosting Your First Thanksgiving Orange Pecan Cranberry Sauce Recipes

ORANGE & PECAN CRANBERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• 1. Drain Orange Segments, reserving juice. Add orange juice or water to make 1 cup of liquid. Measure sugar into a non-reactive deep pan. Add the liquid and bring to a boil. Simmer until all sugar has dissolved.
• 2. Add the cranberries to the pot. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring frequently to prevent sticking. As the cranberries cook, the mixture will foam. Use a small ladle to skim off as much of the foam as possible. Continue to simmer until the mixture reaches a temperature of approximately 220 degrees. If you want a thicker sauce, you may continue until the temp reaches 240 degrees (soft ball stage).
• 3. Meanwhile, cut the orange segments into small pieces, add the grated rind (or zest) and set aside. Chop the pecans and set aside.
• 4. Once your berries have reached the desired temperature, add the orange segments & rind/zest, bring back to a simmer. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the pecans.
• 5. You may spoon into sterilized jars and seal for longer storage. This sauce keeps well and if sealed should be good in your fridge for at least a couple of months.
