Baked Cranberry Sauce























If you’ve never made your own homemade cranberry sauce, you are really missing out. Besides being easy to make, with each spoonful, you’ll experience a burst of flavor that is second to none.


Ingredients


4 cups fresh cranberries, rinsed and drained (see Note)
2 cups sugar
2 tablespoons water
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Combine all the ingredients in a 1-1/2-quart casserole dish.

Cover and bake for 50 to 60 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries pop.

Let cool slightly then cover and chill until ready to serve.





Cranberry Relish


Once you try this no-cook cranberry relish, you won't go back to canned cranberry sauce. It has a fresh taste that canned can't duplicate, and it's so easy to make!


Ingredients
4 cups cranberries
1 apple, cored and cut into large chunks
1 small seedless orange, unpeeled, cut into large chunks
1 -1/4 to 1-1/2 cups sugar
Instructions
Place all the ingredients in a food processor container and process for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the ingredients are finely chopped and thoroughly combined, scraping down the sides of the container as needed.

Serve immediately, or transfer to an airtight container and chill until ready to use.






Cranberry Holiday Mold
