In the Thanksgiving menu to accompany the turkey we prepare cranberry sauce using fresh cranberries, there is the commercially available sauce but it is much better homemade flavoured with cinnamon and freshly squeezed orange juice.
A sauce that I prepare every year during the holidays and that remains very easy and above all fast, it doesn’t take more than 20 minutes, the sauce must not be liquid, it obtains a texture that is close to jam, it will continue to thicken as it cools.
In the United States, the cranberry sauce has sweetened a kind of relish, in England, it is prepared for Christmas dinner. There are a multitude of recipes to add orange or lemon zest, maple syrup or cinnamon, a nice accompaniment to Thanksgiving or Christmas turkey.
