Spiced Cranberry Sauce
Ingredients
- As seen on WKTV NEWSChannel 2
- 1 medium orange
- 6 whole cloves
- 1 (12-ounce) bag fresh cranberries
- 1 cup water
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 (3 to 3 1/2-inches) cinnamon sticks
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- Finely grated orange zest, optional
Instructions
- Using a wooden skewer, poke 6 evenly spaced holes around the center of the orange; insert cloves into holes. Cut a slice out of the orange to include all of the cloves. In a medium saucepan, combine cranberries, water, brown sugar, cinnamon sticks, and orange slice. Squeeze juice from ends of orange into cranberry mixture. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, partially covered, until most of the cranberries have popped, about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat. Remove orange slice and cinnamon sticks. Stir in sugar; mash with a potato masher. Cool at least 1 hour before serving. Sprinkle with finely grated orange zest before serving, if desired. (May be prepared up to five days in advance; store covered and refrigerated.) Makes 8 servings.
