Drunken Cranberry Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Tip the cranberry sauce into a bowl, add the maple syrup, port, chopped thyme and orange zest and juice and stir through. Garnish with a sprig of thyme.

Steps:

• Heat a saucepan over medium heat; cook and stir sugar, orange juice, half the cranberries, and tequila in the warmed saucepan until mixture is slightly reduced, about 20 minutes. Add the remaining cranberries and orange zest; cook and stir until cranberries begin to pop, 10 to 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Combine first 3 ingredients (in saucepan large enough to hold ingredients and more).
• Cook over low heat until most of berries have "popped".
• Add zest and cinnamon.
• Remove from heat.
• Cool and store in refrigerator or freeze until wanted.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350.
• Combine cranberries, sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg in an 8" square pan.
• Bake 50 to 60 minutesor until the cranberries have softened and become juicy.
• Uncover and stir in the bourbon.
• The alcohol will evaporate leaving the liquor's smoky essence.
• Refrigerate covered until ready to serve.

Steps:

• In heavy medium saucepan over moderate heat, combine cranberries, sugar, and 1/2 cup water. Bring to boil, stirring often to dissolve sugar, then reduce heat to moderately low and simmer, stirring often, until thickened and reduced to about 3 cups, about 15 minutes.
• Transfer to medium bowl and cool, stirring often, until tepid, about 30 minutes. Stir in vodka and liqueur. Transfer to serving bowl, cover, and refrigerate until chilled and set, at least 2 hours. (Sauce can be made up to 2 weeks ahead and refrigerated.) Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, combine simple syrup, cinnamon, and orange zest. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat; add cranberries. Cook until cranberries just begin to pop and skins begin to split, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
• Strain liquid into a large container. Discard cinnamon and orange zest; add cranberries to liquid, along with rum. If cranberries are not fully submerged in liquid, add equal parts simple syrup and rum until they are completely covered. Let cool completely.
• Cover, and transfer to refrigerator until chilled, at least 2 hours and up to 3 weeks.
