Maple Cranberry Sauce

[heart_this] · Dec 21, 2007 · 9 Comments

Cranberry Sauce

One of my favorite parts of a holiday dinner is the cranberry sauce. It seems that the cranberry sauce only makes an appearance once or twice a year so it is one of the things that I look forward to. I think that cranberry sauce goes really well with turkey and I tend to use it like gravy on the turkey. I thought it would be nice to try replacing the sugar with maple syrup. This was my first time making cranberry sauce and I was a little surprised when the cranberries started bursting. I was not expecting the popping sound. The cranberry sauce turned out pretty good and it was really easy to make. I ended up with a lot of leftover cranberry sauce which was good as there was a lot of leftover turkey to go with it.

    Kevin, as I read this recipe, it reminded me that you are Canadian, which I always associate with maple syrup (we took an annual trip to Canada when I was a kid and ALWAYS brought back maple syrup and lemon curd). This sounds really good — very imaginative and quite delicious.

    I tried the cranberry sauce from the latest LCBO magazine, which basically replaces the water with pomegranante juice. The sauce was not as sweet which was very good
