Cranberry Sauce - Microwave


Recipe By: posted again to rec.food.cooking by Barb Schaller, 11-20-2007
Serving Size: 10


1 12 oz. bag fresh cranberries
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup water

Mix together cranberries, sugar and water in microwave-safe 2-quart
casserole. Cover with lid or vented plastic food wrap and microwave on
high (100% power), 6-7 minutes, stirring at 3 minutes, until cranberry
skins pop. (Maybe less time in newer, higher-powered nukers.) Frozen
cranberries will take 2 to 3 minutes longer to cook and should be
stirred twice.

Stir again and cool, covered, to room temperature. Stir and serve or
chill before serving. Makes 2 cups.

Spicy Cranberry Sauce: Prepare as directed, but mix 1/4 teaspoon each
ground cinnamon, ginger, and cloves with sugar.

Orange-Cranberry Sauce: Prepare as directed, but substitute packed light
brown sugar for granulated sugar, orange juice for water, and finely
grated peel of one orange.

Notes: Pretty tough to beat this method of cooking.

I pretty much follow the recipe on the back of the bag as well, but the
microwave sounds like a good idea too. When I make my sauce on the
stove top, I end up with cranberry juice specks all over. Making it in
the microwave might be a better alternative.

Ever done cranberries in a blender? And pushed the button before you put the
top on?
WOW!

We do pretty much the same thing although with a lot less sugar. Texture
comes out very nice as long as the time is watched.

Cranberry sauce is pretty easy but I have to admit I bought some ready-
made at Trader Joe's yesterday that was pretty good.

You don't cover it? I do, at least partially.

It's nice.

Substitute 1/2 half cup brandy for 1/2 cup of whatever water or juice
you're using, then bake the mixture in a pyrex baking dish in a 325 degree
oven until the mixture thickens. Heaven!

Thanks for this recipe! DH insisted I make the plain kind (I liked the
sound of 'spicy') but at least it's done, and without standing over
the stove for half an hour stirring... I used 3/4 cup sugar and 1/2
cup water.

Well ok, silly me. I just made it and covered it most of the time. I
think I avoided the majority of the spattering.

I also used some brandy in place of some water. Looking forward to
having it tomorrow!
