Best Cranberry Old Fashioned Recipes

Steps:

• Empty a 12-ounce bag of fresh or frozen cranberries into a saucepan and transfer 1/2 cup to a small bowl. Add 1 cup sugar, 1 strip orange or lemon zest and 2 tablespoons water to the pan and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and the cranberries are soft, about 10 minutes. Increase the heat to medium and cook until the cranberries burst, about 12 minutes. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the reserved cranberries. Add sugar, salt and pepper to taste and cool to room temperature before serving.

Steps:

• Muddle cranberries, sugar, bitters, and orange zest with water in a medium glass until sugar dissolves. Pour in bourbon. Add ice cubes.

Steps:

• Finely chop about half the cranberries with 1 orange in a food processor; scrape into a glass mixing bowl. Repeat process with remaining cranberries and orange.
• Finely chop walnuts in the food processor; add to cranberry mixture. Stir sugar and orange-flavored liqueur through the cranberry mixture.
• Cover bowl with plastic wrap; refrigerate at least 4 hours to overnight.
