Fresh Orange Cranberry Sauce
Image by The Relucant Gourmet™
I found this recipe in my wife's 1978 cookbook called The Vegetarian Epicure Book Two. The cookbook is held together with some tape and lots of hope.
This is a great recipe for cranberry sauce for turkey or chicken. We prepare this every year for Thanksgiving but with all thats going on, be sure to put it on the table. One year we didn't.

Wash the cranberries and pick through them looking for any loose stems or stones. Leaving the peel on, finely chop the orange and you are ready to start.
Combine the sugar with 1 cup of the water in a medium-sized saucepan and heat until sugar dissolves. Add cranberries, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes, uncover, and simmer for another 10 minutes. Stir occasionally.
Add the remaining 1/2 cup of water, chopped orange, ginger, cinnamon, and cardamom powder, then simmer for 20 minutes, stirring often. Chill the sauce.

really nice recipe! i did 50-50 water and OJ. thinking of adding a bit of disaronno or amaretto next time for an upgrade!
I found this recipe a few years ago online and have made it every year since then. I grew up with homemade cranberry sauce and have become sort of a snob about it as I refuse to eat it out of the can! If you like homemade cranberry sauce with a hint of spice, you'll love this recipe. It's really great and reminds me of my mother's.
