Hey yall. Im gonna share a secret with you thatll get you compliments on Thursday before everyone wanders away from the dinner table to watch football in a tryptophan-induced stupor. Forget canned cranberry sauce! Boring! This is quick and easy and should be made the day before your festivities. Also if you dont like super tart cranberry sauce the amaretto in this mellows it out a bit. I made this one year and never went back to the canned stuff (which honestly looks unnatural to me). What the heck do I need to scrounge from my pantry? 1 12oz bag of fresh cranberries 1/2 cup amaretto (use the cheap stuff, it doesnt matter) 1/2 cup water 1 cup sugar ~ tsp of orange zest or 3-4 drops orange oil if youre feeling adventurous How the hell do I make this awesome sauce? Put all the ingredients in a pot and turn on the heat to medium. Bring that swill to a boil and stir. You can mash it up a bit since that helps bring out the pectin in the cranberries to make a loose jelly when it reacts with the sugar. Let it cook for about 10 minutes, making sure you stir it every once in a while. The cranberries will pop and splutter on you a bit (be careful), telling you that they are on the way to making you a winner for Thanksgiving. Remove from heat and pour into a dish for serving. Throw it in the fridge and youre done. Kick back with an amaretto coffee... or two... or three.
