On the fourth day of Christmas my kitchen gave to me, Homemade Cranberry Sauce!
Cranberry Sauce
1) Wash cranberries. Discard the unripe cranberries (they will be almost completely white in color).
2) Put the 48oz of washed cranberries in a pot and add: 4 cups of sugar, 4 cups of orange juice (you could use water too), a splash of rum.
It should look something like this when the sauce is done. |
4) Pour cranberry sauce into jars, clean the rim of the jar to insure proper sealing, add lid and ring, and process in a boiling water bath. If using pint size jars, precess for 15min. If using quart size jars, process for 20min. If you're above 1,000 ft, add 5 min.
5) Remove from boiling water and allow to cool.
5) Remove from boiling water and allow to cool.
Note: 4 cups of sugar made the cranberry sauce sweet enough to add to a muffin recipe, scone recipe, or to a turkey sandwich after thanksgiving. However, it still had a very tart flavor to it so if you're the type to eat it by itself in large quantities, I would advise you to add a little more sugar.
Yum!
