Easy Homemade Cranberry Sauce
A super EASY Homemade Cranberry Sauce that comes together in a few minutes with just a few simple ingredients, and the delicious addition of Amaretto for a nutty flavor compliment.
Servings 3 cups
Ingredients
- 4 c Frozen Cranberries you can use fresh if preferred
- 1 c Sugar white granulated
- 1 c Water
- 1/2 tsp Ground Cinnamon
- 2 oz Amaretto almond liquor
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan combine sugar and water over medium heat. Allow to boil and add in liquor. Cook for about 2 minutes to "burn" off the alcohol. Add in cranberries and cinnamon and continue to gently simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally to keep from burning.
- Once cranberries begin to pop (about 5 minutes) you can gently mash and cook for another 3-5 minutes until the liquid dissolves and it begins to take on a jelly consistency.
- Remove from heat and allow to cool before transferring to a sealed container. Refrigerate until ready to use (we make ours 2 days in advance!).
