Authentic Cranberry Sauce

[Albert Sailhorst]

I apologize for the simplicity of this recipe, but I feel this would be something you could make and to brag about it's authenticity as it relates to the historical celebrations of Thanksgiving! Homemade beats canned anytime, especially with a provenance of historical value! May you and yours have a happy Thanksgiving!

CRANBERRY SAUCE.


This sauce is very simply made. A quart of cranberries is washed and stewed with sufficient water to cover them; when they burst mix with them a pound of brown sugar, and stir them well. Before you remove them from the fire, all the berries should have burst. When cold they will be jellied, and if thrown into a form while warm, will turn out whole.

Thanks Albert. Good to have an authentic and simple recipe.

The only difference in my mother's recipe was white sugar as opposed to brown.

We have always used white sugar too but I am thinking brown sugar might add some depth of flavor! My daughter is the cranberry sauce queen in the household so I'm going to pass this along to her! Thank you!

I made this last Sunday.....I was pleasantly surprised at how well the brown sugar complimented the flavours!

Simple is always a good thing! Plus it's period, so all the better. This would probably be quite good with turkey sandwich leftovers and a nice multi-grain bread after Thanksgiving.

Tomorrow is cranberry relish day so you might want to see if you have any recipes.I will post a recipe for a cranberry salad that we serve as a desert .it might be better in the summer but we also have it on turkey day.

I made two batches for Thanksgiving, one with white sugar and one with brown. I made the brown plain, but in the white sugar one, I added crystallized ginger and jalapeño. I liked both, but the latter seemed the most popular.

On Tues. I made a Cranberry hot sauce, with chocolate habanero, brown sugar, honey, cider vinegar and garlic.
Really good on both turkey and ham. Had several good reviews so far.

I've been using my leftover cranberry sauce in salad dressing. A spoonful added to a vinaigrette really adds something.

That is an interesting idea,amazing what simple little things come out of other simple things.

After all this talk of cranberry sauce, I forgot to make ours yesterday! My daughter had to work an early shift so I was in charge of fixin' it this year! She came home to all the regular Thanksgiving day staples except that, her absolute favorite! I got the death stare like never before and was told the turkey had better NOT be dry because she didn't have any cranberry sauce to put on top of it if'n it was. Great day in the morning, she was hoppin' mad! Guess whose in the kitchen now, standing over the stove so she has some to go with the leftovers?!
