Ingredients

  1. 1 pound cranberries (about 4 cups), thawed if frozen
  2. 2 medium oranges
  3. 1 1/4 cups sugar
  4. 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  5. Kosher salt

Instructions

  1. Put all but 1 cup cranberries in a saucepan. Remove wide strips of zest from 1 orange with a peeler; add to the saucepan with the juice of both oranges (about 1/2 cup). Add the sugar, coriander, a pinch of salt and 1/2 cup water. Bring to a simmer over medium heat; cook, stirring occasionally, until the berries burst and the sauce thickens, 15 to 20 minutes.
  2. Stir in the remaining 1 cup cranberries; cook until softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool; remove the orange zest. Transfer to a serving dish and refrigerate at least 3 hours.

I have been making this for several years, I decided to make something different two years ago, and my sil a little miffed that I didn’t make it. Those who like cranberry sauce, love this homemade recipe much more.

Made this several times great for the holidays and with roast chicken – orange and cranberries are such a great pair – can not wait to try this with the ruby red oranges that come into season soon.

I loved the texture of this sauce, but not the flavor. It seemed the orange and coriander dulled the brightness of the cranberries. I won’t make this again.

This stuff is delish.  I like what the orange adds.  And the coriander is something that makes people say “hmm, what is that”.  This is my new favorite cranberry sauce recipe.
