Fresh Cranberry Sauce

Thanksgiving is typically when most people start talking about Cranberry Sauce.

It is usually a staple at most Thanksgiving dinners- and typically found in a can. 

Which can make it one of the most forgettable parts of your Thanksgiving feast.

But I’m gonna tell you- it doesn’t have to be.

It can actually be one of the most requested and favored parts of the meal.

But you have to use my Grandma’s recipe.

Because if it has been passed down from generation to generation you know it has to be good. 

This cranberry sauce has just the right amount of sweet with a little bit of bitter. But boy- together does that make a winning combination.

To be honest- it tastes amazing on rolls, too. Or to be eaten by the spoonful. Trust me- you are going to be licking the bowl clean.

I’m not saying canned cranberry sauce is awful- I actually quite like it.

But when given the option- I’ll always opt for fresh- and after you make this- you will too.

Ingredients

1 lb. fresh cranberry

1 apple- cored

1 orange peel

2 cups sugar

1 T. water

1  6 oz. box of cherry jello

1 c. ice

 

Instructions

Pour cranberries, apple and your orange peel in a large bowl

Add 2 cups of sugar and mix together until well coated

Pour fruit mixture into a high powered blender (I use a Blentec)

Drizzle 1 T. of water into the mixture

Blend together until smooth (a few chunks are okay)

Once blended pour the mixture back into your large bowl and set aside

Boil 1 C. of water

Add boiled water and jello together in a small bowl- dissolve and stir for 3 minutes

Add 1 C. of ice  to the jello mixture

Place jello into the fridge for 20 minutes

After 20 minutes your jello mixture should be in the beginning of stages of thickening- that’s okay

Add the jello mixture to your bowl of blended fruit and stir together

Transfer into a baking dish or glass bowl with a lid and place in fridge for at least 3-4 hours before serving

Recipe Notes

This is delicious as a side to your Thanksgiving feast but also tastes delicious on bread or rolls!

That’s it.

So easy. And so delicious.

Do me a favor and make yourself a day after Thanksgiving sandwich, too. This cranberry sauce slathered between turkey, stuffing, taters and gravy is to die for. Trust me.

Let’s make cranberry sauce a year-round dish! It’s not just for Thanksgiving anymore folks.

LONG POST (but worth reading) The last two days, I LONG POST (but worth reading) The last two days, I’ve had the awesome opportunity to serve as a volunteer for my church at the Deseret Mill & Pasta Plant for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Here we help package food that goes out to people in need ALL-OVER-THE-WORLD! I’m amazed at the insane amount of that food gets cranked out every day! Here are some stats for you that came off of just my lines the last two days. (There were 4 other lines running.)
4,860 packages (270 boxes, 5 pallets, 7,300 lbs.) of Chocolate Cake Mix. 
17,280 packages (720 boxes, 10 pallets, 18,000 lbs.) of Spaghetti. 💪🏻💪🏻
And these were in two 4 hour shifts of one food item. There are oats, onions, potatoes, beans, spaghetti, macaroni, rice, wheat, dry milk, sugar, apple slices, honey. And the list goes on and on. Glad to be a part of such an awesome cause and way of life! .

I walked my mom through roasting a turkey breast a I walked my mom through roasting a turkey breast and she knocked it out of the park. My mom rarely cooked the meat growing up. Not because she didn’t want to but because my dad was so dang good at it. I’d say she’s got what it takes. Way to go momma!
