Spiced Orange Cranberry Sauce

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.

Step: 1

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 1 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.

The most clear way to choose a side dish is to caught at your main dish (pasta, chicken, seared tofu) and pick more different. When you’re cooking pasta, make sure for a simple healthy dish . Making steak? Go for something light. If you’re want to cooking stir-fry with rice, it must not a good idea to also make a rice salad.

One make sure is also can apply to cooking process . You don’t want to push more often your oven by scheduling three dishes at once in there, or be rounding four pans on the stovetop . But sometimes you can make a dish do double-duty .
