Thankful day 7 Share Homemade Cranberry sauce recipe by HelpfulHannah

Debe Maxwell, CRS asked what am I thankful for this year.Well, after thinking and shopping for Thanksgiving dinner, I thought about one of my favorite side dishes that I would like to share as I usually do every year.  That is a simple one homemade Cranberry Sauce .

I was thankful I thought as I was looking for apple cider I would do a different variation that I thought would be great in case some people were also making a ham. Ok, let's start out with the basics one bag of fresh cranberry's . Take the cranberries and drain and rinse in a colander. Measure one cup of sugar, brown or white sugar can be used, it is a matter of taste. This year I am using white sugar - here is the variation this year-  If you are going to go with the crushed pineapple and cranberry sauce, drain the pineapple and use 1 cup of the juice to cook the  cranberry's in otherwise use one cup of water. Add one cup of sugar and dissolve the liquid and the sugar  by cooking in a saucepan on the stove on a low heat. 

The cranberries are ready to add when the liquid comes to a low boil. The cranberries will start to pop so either use a screen on the top or a lid I usually use a screen . Cook on low heat about 10-15 minutes I also add some vanilla about a tsp, dash orange and lemon zest even some cinnamon my friendEndre Barath, Jr. Recommend  some fabulous liquors. Now we want to add a cup of crushed or chunk pineapple . Cook for another five minutes. It will look a little thin do not panic, it will thicken as it cools  

Let it sit for awhile, then put in a dish or container. This dish should be made a day or two before being served to let the flavors blend. Even if you do not add the pineapple. Homemade cranberry sauce is very healthy and can be used not only as a side dish at Thanksgiving, but is great on breads as a jam  and even ice cream. It also tastes much better than canned .

I am Thankful and grateful to share this recipe every year and I hope you have found it Helpful this Holiday Season

Here is a video I found just like my recipe step by step so easy

OH my gosh, that sounds divine, Hannah! I love cranberry sauce and make the pineapple/cranberry congealed salad each year. Thank you so much for sharing yours!

We had a wonderful dinner at The Ritz Carlton a few years ago and I had the most amazing cranberry/vanilla cranberry puree - with bourbon! It was amazing and I have tried to master the recipe every year. Maybe I will post it this year if I get the ingredients right!

Hi Hannah:

Thanks for sharing your holiday recipe. Sadly, I am not a fan of pineapple but I bet many will enjoy this. My wife made the cranberry relish today that we typically have. We seem to prefer this over the cooked variety...and forget that canned stuff!

Happy Thankgiving!

Jeff

I have never been big on cranberry sauce but I guess I haven't really given it a chance either.  I would certainly try your cranberry sauce.

HI Hannah Williams - I also make my own cranberry sauce.  I use orange rinds to give it a bite with the sweetness of monk fruit.  I enjoyed seeing your recipe.  Now that I have seen your recipe and Endre Barath, Jr. s' recipe, I am getting some ideas! Thank you.

Hannah,

I think you have changed the recipe since I last read it, with fresh raspberries...I tried that and it was delicious.  We eat turkey quite often during the year, so I always have homemade cranberry sauce on hand!  This year, we are not having turkey!  A

Yes Ron and Alexandra Seigel  I have one year I could not find rasperries and I tried pineapples and it was delicious so I am doing it again - Happy Thanksgiving

Thanks, Hannah, for sharing the recipe. No one in my family likes cranberry sauce (except for me), so unlikely I'll go to the trouble of making it for myself... but I'm saving your receipt anyway... because you never know when the spirit might move me to do it!

No one likes it but me Nina Hollander, Broker and at my age I have decided Ito stop trying to please others and to be happy . If this pleases others wonderful
