Maple Cranberry Sauce Recipes

MAPLE CRANBERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in a medium saucepan and stir to combine.
• Heat over medium-high heat until the mixture reaches a simmer. Reduce heat and simmer for 8-10 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened and reached your desired consistency. (Keep in mind that it will also thicken a bit more as it cools.)
• Taste and add extra maple syrup, if needed.
• You can either serve this cranberry sauce warm or let it cool in the refrigerator until chilled and then serve it cold.

MAPLE SYRUP CRANBERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine water and maple syrup in a saucepan; bring to a boil. Add cranberries to syrup mixture and cook at a boil until berries pop, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir brown sugar and lemon juice into cranberries until brown sugar is completely dissolved. Mix in brandy.

MAPLE-HONEY CRANBERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, combine the cranberries, syrup, honey and orange zest. Cook over medium heat until the berries pop, about 15 minutes. Cover and store in the refrigerator.

ORANGE MAPLE CRANBERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• Rinse the cranberries. Discard any mushy or underripe berries and stems.
• Place a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat and add the cranberries, 1/3 cup pure maple syrup, orange zest, orange juice, water, and cinnamon stick. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture comes to a boil. Continue boiling over medium heat until the berries burst and break down, forming a sauce, 15-20 minutes.
• Taste for sweetness. If it's too tart, add more syrup - a tablespoon at a time - until the sauce tastes sweet enough for you.
• Remove from the heat and let cool. Spoon into your serving container to serve or store in an airtight container, refrigerated, for 3-4 days. You can also freeze your cranberry sauce for up to 2 months - I do this every Thanksgiving! Just place the sauce in an airtight container or zipper freezer bag and transfer to the freezer. Move to the fridge to thaw about 24-48 hours before the big meal.

ANCHO-MAPLE CRANBERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• Toast the chiles in a dry medium saucepan over medium heat, turning occasionally, about 5 minutes. Add 2 cups water and the baking soda. Remove from the heat and let stand 10 minutes. Transfer the chiles and liquid to a blender and puree until smooth. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into the saucepan, pressing the mixture through with a rubber spatula.
• Add the cranberries, sugar, maple syrup and 1/4 teaspoon salt to the pan. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries burst and the sauce thickens, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the raisins. Let cool.
• Transfer the cranberry sauce to a bowl and refrigerate at least 3 hours or overnight.

CRANBERRY-MAPLE SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in heavy large saucepan. Bring to boil, stirring often. Reduce heat to medium; simmer until cranberries pop, stirring often, about 12 minutes. Transfer to bowl. Cool completely. (Can be made 5 days ahead. Cover; chill.)

Steps:

• Cook and stir apple cider in a saucepan over medium-low heat until cider is reduced by half, about 10 minutes.

CRANBERRY MAPLE SAUCE

Steps:

• Rinse cranberries under cool running water, pick over and discard any bad berries. Place berries into a medium saucepan.
• Stir in the orange zest, Grand Marnier (or orange juice), cranberry juice, and pure maple syrup.
• Bring to a rolling boil over medium-high to high heat, keeping a close eye and stirring often.
• Reduce heat to medium-low and continue to cook for about 10 minutes, until sauce thickens and most of the berries have popped.
• Pour into a glass dish and let cool. For best results let sit in fridge overnight.

MAPLE SPICED CRANBERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• Set a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add water, 1/3 cup pure maple syrup, and remaining ingredients. Stir to combine. Bring to a low bowl and cook, stirring occasionally, until most of the berries have burst and a sauce has formed, about 12 minutes. Taste and add additional pure maple syrup if desired (some cranberries are tarter than others, so you may need more than the recipe calls for). Remove from heat.
• Remove cinnamon sticks and cardamom pods. The pods should be easy to spot because they swell and lighten up when cooking.
• Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to serve, for up to 10 days. Or place in the freezer for up to 3 months.
