Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces fresh cranberries
- 0.5 cup pineapple juice
- 0.5 cup water
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons prepared horseradish
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons ground ginger
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
Instructions
Rinse the fresh cranberries under cold water and discard any that are soft or damaged.
In a medium saucepan, combine the pineapple juice, water, and granulated sugar. Stir until the sugar begins to dissolve.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Add the cranberries to the saucepan and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes or until the cranberries burst and the mixture thickens.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the prepared horseradish, Dijon mustard, ground black pepper, ground ginger, and salt until fully combined.
Let the sauce cool to room temperature. It will thicken further as it cools.
Transfer the cranberry Jezebel sauce to a serving dish or airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve chilled or at room temperature as a condiment for roasted meats, a sandwich spread, or alongside your holiday meal.
