Preliminary results are excellent! This is some very tasty sauce!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thanks, Jo!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Followup: I neglected to add the vanilla called for, and the sauce was none the worse for it. I can’t even think that vanilla would be necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Insofar as we left all of the leftover sauce at my sister’s house, I made a new batch on Friday to appease the spousal unit for whom this blog is named. I measured only the sugar (3\/4C) this time, using a 12-ounce bag of cranberries, the zest, juice and pulp of one navel orange, and 1\/8 t of nutmeg. No vanilla. The pulp, I opine, adds a bit more flavor and texture to the mix. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We’ll see what the boss says…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Following up in 2020. Everything was great, and I’ve been instructed to make this again! Well, requested, but I know what she meant…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I chased down the connection to Jo Cooks, and found a bad link, depending on your browser, so I’ll put the recipe here, but with FULL CREDIT to Jo Cooks (jocooks.com) for the recipe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- 12 oz cranberries (1 bag), rinsed<\/li>\n\n\n\n

- 1\/8 tsp ground nutmeg<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- 1 tsp vanilla extract<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- 2 Tbs orange zest<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Assemble all ingredients in small saucepan. Bring to a boil on medium-high heat, stirring occasionally<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Reduce to medium heat and boil for ten minutes, watching in delight as the cranberries pop (OK, my flair on the recipe…)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cool and serve at room temperature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
