Break away from tradition and serve this tasty alternative to plain ol' cranberry sauce. The mild rum and clove flavors give it a homey, comforting feel that pairs well with traditional Thanksgiving dishes. âAmy Nutoni, La Crescent, Minnesota Ingredients:
8 whole cloves |
1 large navel orange |
1 package (15 ounces) golden raisins |
1 package (12 ounces) fresh or frozen cranberries |
2 cups sugar |
1/2 cup water |
1/2 cup rum |
1 cinnamon stick (3 inches) |
Directions:
1. Place cloves on a double thickness of cheesecloth; bring up corners of cloth and tie with string to form a bag. Set aside. 2. Using a citrus zester, remove zest from orange in narrow strips. Peel and chop the orange; set aside. 3. In a small saucepan, combine the raisins, cranberries, sugar, water, rum, cinnamon, spice bag and chopped orange. Cook over medium heat until berries pop, about 15 minutes. 4. Remove from the heat; discard spice bag and cinnamon stick. Stir in orange zest. Transfer to a small bowl; cool slightly. Refrigerate until chilled. Yield: 4 cups. |
