A homemade 3 ingredient easy cranberry sauce recipe to create that uses fresh cranberries and sugar. I always use brown sugar as it is more healthier. This may make your sauce a little darker than white sugar would. These are boiled with water to a paste. Orange zest is added to compliment the sauce.

How to

After washing the cranberries leave them in a bowl. Add the water to a pot on the stove top and heat up and then add the sugar. Bring to boil stirring now and again, just to melt the sugar, adding the cranberries to boiling water and boil until they pop open. Then adding some orange zest to it. Simmering for a few minutes until sauce has thickened. Don’t boil the sauce further as this will make them bitter. Leave to cool until poured into a serving bowl or jug.

How to fix Bitterness to Cranberry Sauce?

If the sauce turns out bitter then you can add a tablespoon of maple syrup and teaspoon of sweet apple juice or orange juice to it. Adding more sugar will not help with the bitterness.

The cranberry sauce should be cooled in a refrigerator before serving. Preferably made the day before for best results. The sauce will thicken while it cools and when chilled.

Why are Cranberries bitter?

Cranberries are quit tart and this is where the sugar comes into effect. But you could add some sweet blueberries to combat the tartness of the sauce. This is why we use orange zest, or some orange juice that could be added with the water for a better taste. For the one cup of water required add half water and half orange juice. This will bring out the flavor. Oranges and cranberries go together, such as chicken and lemons go together. This will also add more sweetness to the sauce.

How to Store Cranberry sauce.

Keeping the sauce in the fridge in a sealed airtight container or bottled in the fridge for at least 2 weeks. You can also store the left over cranberry sauce in a zip lock freezer bay and freeze them.

Freezing cleaned fresh cranberries in a sealed zip lock freezer bag is also an option. Keep them for a good few months until needed.

Serving the cranberries at room temperature or chilled is the way to go.
