Recipe for Homemade Cranberry Sauce
INGREDIENTS
1 bag fresh cranberries
1 cup sugar
3/4 cup water
1 small can of pineapple (small chunks)
1/2 cup broken walnuts
TOOLS
Medium sauce pan
Medium bowl
Collander
Saran wrap
DIRECTIONS
Begin by placing the cranberries in the collander and running them under cold water. While you are rinsing them you will want to watch for/remove any stems that may still be attached to the cranberries. After rinsing, place the cranberries in the sauce pan and immediately add the water, sugar and juice from the pineapple can. Allow mixture to simmer over medium heat until the cranberries begin to burst. Once a majority of the cranberries have burst, remove from the stove and add your pineapple chunks and walnuts to the pan, saving a few for garnish. Allow cranberry sauce to sit for 5 minutes before placing in a medium size serving bowl. Place the remaining chunks of pineapple and walnuts on top as garnish. Cover in saran wrap and allow to cool in the refrigerator for 1 hour before serving . While it is cooling the cranberry sauce will thicken to the desired consistency.
