By RoketJSquerl

Ingredients

• 1 Cup Sugar (200 g)
• 3/4 Cup Cranberry Juice (255 mL)
• 1/4 Cup Orange Juice
• 4 Cups Fresh or Frozen Cranberries (1 12-oz package)
• Optional Pecans, orange peel, raisins, currants, blueberries, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice.

Preparation

Step 1

1 Wash and pick over cranberries. In a saucepan bring to a boil juices and sugar, stirring to dissolve sugar. Add cranberries, return to a boil. Reduce heat, simmer for 10 minutes or until cranberries burst. 2 At this point you can add all number of optional ingredients. We typically mix in a half a cup of roughly chopped pecans with or without a few strips of orange peel. You can add a cup of raisins or currants. You can add up to a pint of fresh or frozen blueberries for added sweetness. Spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg or allspice can be added too. 3 Remove from heat. Cool completely at room temperature and then chill in refrigerator. Cranberry sauce will thicken as it cools. Cranberry sauce base makes 2 1/4 cups.
