Seriously Simple: A trio of cranberry sauces for your Thanksgiving table
Cranberry sauce is one of the traditional dishes essential for any Thanksgiving menu. For me, it wouldn't be Thanksgiving without at least one of the following recipes. The range of cranberry possibilities can be as simple as the back-of-the-package cranberry sauce to uncooked relish to sweet-and-spicy chutney. Here are three of my favorite recipes for you to try this holiday season. Make one or all three and see how a side condiment can spice up so many other dishes. Happy Thanksgiving!
Cranberry Pomegranate Sauce with Satsumas
Makes about 6 Cups
I like to add Satsumas (the small orange citrus fruit) because it is seasonal and seedless. Otherwise, you can use clementines. Pomegranate juice and seeds add a depth of flavor. Plus, the orange and rich red colors look beautiful on the table.
3/4 cup sugar
1 cup sweetened pomegranate juice (try POM Wonderful)
One 12-ounce bag fresh cranberries, washed and picked over
4 satsumas or clementines, peeled, sectioned and cut into 2-inch pieces
1/2 cup pomegranate seeds
1 teaspoon balsamic glaze or creme
