This cardamom-scented cranberry sauce is a delicious twist on the classic Thanksgiving accompaniment.
Directions
- Combine the cranberries, water and spices in a medium-sized pot with a heavy bottom. Bring to a boil and simmer a few minutes, until the cranberries start to break down and the sauce smells of fragrant spices.
- Add the sugar, bring a to a boil again, reduce heat and simmer, stirring frequently, for about 5 minutes, until the sauce is thickened and glossy. Pour into a bowl and let cool completely before serving.
- This cranberry sauce can be made up to 4 days before serving. Keep refrigerated.
Variations
