Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz fresh cranberries
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup orange juice (preferably fresh)
- 2 tbsp horseradish (prepared)
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 0.5 cup pineapple preserves
- 0.25 tsp ground black pepper
- 0.25 tsp ground cayenne pepper (optional, for extra spice)
Instructions
Rinse the cranberries under cool water and discard any that are soft or discolored.
In a medium saucepan, combine the cranberries, granulated sugar, and orange juice.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally.
Once the cranberries begin to burst (about 5-7 minutes), reduce the heat to low and simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
Stir in the horseradish, Dijon mustard, pineapple preserves, ground black pepper, and cayenne pepper, if using.
Continue cooking for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens slightly and all ingredients are well-combined.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the cranberry sauce cool to room temperature.
Transfer the sauce to a serving dish or airtight container. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 1 week. Allow the sauce to come to room temperature before serving if refrigerated.
