No. 1 : Quick Recipe
Cranberry Pomegranate Orange Sauce
- 1 Bag Fresh Cranberries
- 1 Large *Navel Orange, cut in 8 pieces (including the peel)
- ¼ Cup Pomegranate Molasses, (find pomegranate molasses in Whole Foods, Sprouts or other speciality market OR online.)
- 3 or 4 Small to Medium Oranges
- Fresh Herbs like Rosemary or Mint for Garnish
Step One
In the bowl of a food processor add all the ingredients and pulse until desired chunkiness. Taste and add more molasses if desired.
Step Two
Cut the small oranges in half and juice them. Then use a melon baller to scoop out the insides of the oranges. (They don’t have to be perfectly clean.) Scoop the cranberry sauce into the orange shells and garnish with the herbs.
No. 2 : Kitchen Scoop
*I don’t buy all organic produce – and you don’t have to either. But when you are using the skin or zest of a citrus fruit its a good idea to buy organic, and scrub it well with soap and water, or use a commercial fruit and vegetable wash.
No. 3 : Get Creative
If you are serving these pretty bowls of cranberry sauce up to a Thanksgiving table of adults, feel free to add up to 2 TB of orange liqueur or pomegranate liquor to the sauce. It adds a zing and a little sweetness to the turkey side dish.
