Oranged Cranberry Sauce

SUBMITTED BY: Barbara Yoder PHOTO BY: CAROLYN_G

"This recipe was graciously shared with me by a Jamaican friend, many years ago. It makes a delicious sauce, different from any other cranberry sauce I've ever tasted or made. It does not "gel" but you do want to cook it long enough to make a good, thick consistency. You can use 1 tablespoon of excellent quality ground cinnamon instead of the cinnamon stick, if you prefer.

DIRECTIONS

Place the cranberries, grated orange rind, cinnamon, orange juice, brown sugar and enough water to cover cranberries in a saucepan. Bring mixture to a boil over high heat. Immediately turn heat down and simmer for about one hour or until the sauce has thickened. Taste for sweetness and adjust with additional sugar if necessary. You can not overcook, so continue cooking until you have a good thick consistency. Let mixture cool a bit then refrigerate in a covered container.

Wonderful recipe!!! I made this for Thanksgiving and received many many compliments. I'm not a fan of cranberry sauce...but I loved this. It is also easy to make! If your looking for a good cranberry sauce you have to try this. I mixed the leftover with mayo and used it on turkey sandwiches! Yummy!

This is wonderful. I used ground cinnamon instead of sticks because I didn't have any on hand, and it still turned out great.

This sauce was a hit!! I served with turducken (layers of meat from turkey, duck and chicken), the kids loved the flavor. The cranberry sauce complemented the chicken and turkey and of course the orange sauce was great with the duck. This is a keeper!!
