Mary Schmidts Cranberry Sauce Recipes

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.

CRANBERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• Place 1/2 cup of the water in a blender jar. Cut the orange and lemon into eighths, keeping the peel but removing all seeds.
• Blend half the orange and lemon pieces for 10 seconds. Add half the cranberries and blend just until the mixture is a coarse chop. Place in a saucepan. Repeat with the remaining water, orange and lemon wedges, and cranberries, and add the mixture to the pan.
• Add the sugar, cinnamon, and cloves to the pan. Bring to a boil over high heat, reduce the heat, and simmer for 10 minutes, or until the sugar is dissolved and the flavors blend. Cool to room temperature and serve.
