Aunt Lilly's Cranberry Sauce
This was Aunt Lilly's sauce. No one ever had to make cranberry sauce for Thanksgiving. She even made a sugar-free version for some of us. It is not only great with turkey or on a sandwich but excellent on ice cream too.
Ingredients
- 2 bags Fresh Cranberries (cleaned and drained)
- ¼ cup Water
- Zest & Juice of One Lemon
- ½ cup Sugar
Instructions
- Place Cranberries in a saucepan and add Water, Lemon Zest, Lemon Juice and Sugar. Cook until cranberries burst and sauce is thick.
- Add a bit more water if needed. If you like it chunky jar it as is and let cool. If you prefer a smooth version place sauce in a food mill and puree discarding seeds and skins.
Notes
My Variations
