Bourbon adds bite to this holiday standby, packed in a small heavy-duty glass storage container with a tight-fitting lid. Wrap in a vintage tea towel or cloth napkin, cinch with ribbon and adorn with small ornaments.
Ingredients:
2 packages (12 ounces each) fresh or frozen cranberries, thawed
1-1/2 cups sugar
1 cup orange juice
1/4 cup bourbon
3 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon grated orange peel
Directions:
1. In a large saucepan, combine the cranberries, sugar, orange juice and bourbon. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 18-22 minutes or until berries pop and mixture has thickened.
2. Stir in vanilla and orange peel. Carefully ladle hot mixture into hot half-pint jars, leaving 1/4-in. headspace. Remove air bubbles; wipe rims and adjust lids. Process for 15 minutes in a boiling-water canner. Yield: 4 half-pints.
