With Thanksgiving a week away, I've been on a bit of a holiday flavor kick! Yesterday, I made Cranberry Pork Roast in my trusty slow cooker. I also made some super cute pumpkin cupcakes with cinnamon vanilla buttercream frosting for my friend David's birthday.
So, I've decided to dedicate the next week of posts to Thanksgiving/Thanksgiving-inspired recipes! Don't worry, I'll keep them simple and budget-friendly! Today, I'm going to share my favorite Thanksgiving recipe: Homemade Cranberry Sauce. It may sound difficult, but it isn't! I just love the flavors!
(This recipe is adapted from a Tyler Florence recipe)
16 oz cranberries, fresh or frozen
1 orange, zested and juiced
1/2 c. packed brown sugar (or more, if you like a sweeter sauce)
1 large cinnamon stick, or several small ones
Put all the ingredients into a saucepan over medium heat and simmer until the cranberries burst and the sauce thickens, about 15 to 20 minutes. Serve at room temperature or cool and refrigerate. Remove the cinnamon stick before serving.
Super simple, right? I made this for the first time six years ago, and my in-laws have requested it every year since then! Try it! You'll never go back to canned!
