Cranberry Sauce With Cinnamon And Brandy Recipes

Steps:

• In a small pan over medium heat, combine the orange zest and water. Cover and bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Drain, reserving zest and 1/3 cup liquid.
• To the reserved liquid, add the sugar, orange juice and lemon juice. Bring to boil; reduce heat and simmer for 3 minutes uncovered, stirring often.
• Add cranberries; increase heat to medium-high and boil for about 10 minutes or until the cranberries have popped and a small spoonful of sauce sets on a cold plate.
• Remove from heat, stir in brandy. Pour into 4 1/2 pint jars leaving 1/2 inch space from top. Place lids onto jars, and store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.

Steps:

• Combine cranberries, orange juice, brandy, into a pot. Stir the sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and nutmeg into the pot, ensuring that they disolve completely into the mixture. Bring the pot to a boil on medium-high heat. Lower heat to a simmer and stir the mixture every so often until it thickens and/or cranberries are to your desired softness. Note: For a less tart flavor, more sugar can be added. For a stronger flavor more brandy, cinnamon, or nutmeg can be added. If additional brandy is desired, it may require more corn starch to thicken sufficiently.
