Does anyone have a great home made cranberry sauce recipe! ?????
Please do if you can. I love to cook and have a lot of recipes in my head, but crannberry sauce is not something I feel I could just "wing it" if ya know what I mean! TXOriginally Posted by theimp98
hmm i can check when i get home, and look in my mother stuff to see.
but i bet someone post something before then
I thought about making cranberry sauce but then decided to heck with it. Since I'm just cooking for me it wasn't worth the trouble so I bought a can of cranberry sauce. Well now I look at your recipe and it sounds so good I'm going to have to go to the store again and get the ingredients! Darn you Pat!Originally Posted by Pat & Alix
I love this recipe for Cranberry Sauce - just made it today
I should be heading off to bed...but here you go!
12 oz. fresh cranberries (usually one bag)
1/4-1/3 cup real maple syrup
grated rind, and juice of one orange
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamon
Wash and drain the cranberries. Remove any soft or discolored berries, and any leaves or stems.
Combine all ingredients in a medium saucepan, and cook on medium heat for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring, until the cranberries have popped and the sauce is thick.
Serve hot or cold.
This is just the best - turned me into someone who likes cranberry sauce, previously, I didn't.
The nice thing is, you can sure find other uses for the maple syrup, and I can find other recipes for you that use cardamom...though I expect my bottle of this to last quite sometime!Originally Posted by SchwarzeKatz

Well I just got back from the store and I can say that between the cost of the cardamomand the maple syrup, this will without a doubt be the the most expensive cranberry sauce I've ever had!
Well........I made it, it made the house smell really good - that plus the Apple Brown Betty I made for some friends.Originally Posted by Pat & Alix
It's really, really good sauce though...hope you will think so too!!
Glad you like it overallOriginally Posted by SchwarzeKatz

Don't forget to put that little bottle of "gold" (the cardamom) in the freezer. Keeps much better there. Do you like to spice your coffee while it's brewing? Cardamom is WOOOOOOOOOOOOOnnnnnderful! Also, it's in the ginger family, and goes well in any place where you might use ginger, but would like the flavour a little more subtle.Originally Posted by Pat & Alix

Thanks, you too! (don't know if you needed me to say that but it seemed rude not to lolOriginally Posted by Pat & Alix
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
When I cook rice I put about 3 cardamom seeds in the water - it gives just a lovely hint of flavour - especially good with curried foods.Originally Posted by rapunzel47
