Fresh Cranberry Sauce
1 C water
3/4 C sugar
3 C fresh cranberries
1 scoop Blendfresh Reds (optional, but tastes better!)
Zest of 1 orange
In a medium sauce pan bring water and sugar to boil. Add fresh cranberries and reheat back to boiling. As they heat, the cranberries will begin to pop open, releasing natural pectin which will thicken the sauce. It's a fun, festive sound! Continue to cook about 10 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir gently as it cools. Sauce will continue to thicken. Add the zest of an orange for color and flavor, then add a scoop of Blendfresh Reds and stir to combine. Serve in a nice bowl.
I like to make this right as the dinner is being placed on the table so the sauce is fresh and warm, but it can be made ahead and refrigerated for convenience. It goes nicely with a salty meat like turkey or pork, and makes a delicious sandwich spread too.
This is a fun twist on the traditional Ocean Spray recipe I've been making for years. It has slightly less sugar, the added citrus texture, plus a whole new set of flavors from adding the 12 fresh dried fruits and vegetables found in Blendfresh.
This is the first year I have added Blendfresh to the recipe and several people at our family dinner asked what I had done differently this year because the cranberries were so good. Thank you very much Blendfresh :)
