Fresh Cranberry Sauce

I don't know about you but it isn't a thanksgiving meal without cranberry sauce for the Turkey. This is my quick and simple cranberry recipe that can be made today or tomorrow to save you some time on Thursday. Here is what you need...

1 Orange
1 cup Orange Juice
1 Apple
1 Lemon
1 lbs Fresh Cranberries
1/4 teaspoon Baking Soda
1 tablespoon Honey

Zest the Lemon and Orange (make sure not to get to close to the white part of the skin) into a sauce pan with the Baking Soda, Orange Juice and Honey. Add the Cranberries and cook them just until the Cranberries begin to pop and remove from heat. Allow to cool and then place the cooked cranberry mixture into a blender with the pealed and seeded fruit of the orange and the cored apple. Blend till smooth, taste and add more honey to taste. Store in refrigerator until ready to serve.

I love to dip my turkey into this sauce, it always helps make the dry white meat of a turkey taste better. One sad confession to end this recipe with, I still love to eat Ocean Spray's Jellied Cranberry Sauce straight out of the can and slice into nice little circles.
