If there is one thing that you shouldn't be scared of making this season is homemade cranberry sauce! I'm serious my 5 year old helped me make this. It is fun for kids too because they get to watch and listen to the cranberries POP! It is one of those recipes that you throw it all in a pot and stir it up!
Lets get started shall we?
Just dump 12 oz bag of cranberries into a medium sauce pan and turn it on to medium heat. Then I poured in about a cup of POM. Then dump in about 1 cup of sugar. Stir, stir, stir some more.
Next pull out your orange zest a full orange into the cranberries, then I cut mine in half and squeezed all the juice into the mixture.
Cranberries have this beautiful natural pectin, so all you have to do it stir it and all of those amazing little berries will start popping. I went ahead and turned my stove up to hot and just kept those berries moving so they don't burn. After a few minutes you will start to get a jelly, if it is getting really thick and you still have a bunch of berries add more POM juice, if you haven't drank it all yet.... wink, wink.
I don't mind having a few berries left in mine but you can pulse it with a submersion blender if you want it completely smooth. let it cool when you are done and put it in the fridge till that beautiful bird is ready!!
