Cranberry Sauces

[Guest guest]

Here are two from the Chile-Heads list over the years. I have made the first

one and I did it without the Grand Marnier. Worked just fine. Lasted forever

too. If you don't like chiles, then ignore these. The first one is excellent

though.

 

I haven't made the second one but recipes are not allowed to be posted on

Chile-Heads without them being tested. Otherwise there is tons of flaming!

 

Enjoy!

Cranberry/Cherry/Serrano Sauce

 

Recipe By : Peg Wolfe, C-H

Serving Size : 10 Preparation Time :0:00

Categories : Chile-Heads Chiles

Sauces Hot & Spicy

 

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 bag fresh cranberries -- (1 oz) (1 to 12)

1/4 cup dried cherries

3/4 cup water

3/4 cup sugar (may substitute honey -- if you like)

1 serrano chile (to 3) -- finely minced, with

seeds

1 Pinch kosher salt

1 Tbsp lime juice (to 3) -- to taste

 

Combine all ingredients except for lime juice; cook gently til cranberries

pop. Continue to cook for another 5-10 minutes, and add 1 T of the lime

juice; taste. if too sweet, and more juice to taste. Cook another five

minutes to reduce slightly; remove from heat and cool. Refrigerate.

 

Note: Yum. More chiles can be added; serranos work better than jalapenos.

1 habanero can, of course, be substituted for the serranos; I would seed and

devein it, though. Or at least warn the guests.
