Cranberry Crazy

Kate's Cranberry Sauce


It is so good either hot or cold and the best part is it only take 15 minutes.



2 tablespoons butter
1 (12 ounce) bag fresh or frozen cranberries, room temperature
3/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon allspice
1 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
zest of one orange
1/4 cup fresh orange juice
1/2 cup pecan or walnut bits




Wash and pat dry the cranberries. Mix the sugar, cinnamon and allspice together in a small bowl. In a large pan, over medium-high heat, melt the butter and add the cranberries Toss well and add 1/2 sugar spice mixture.  When you start hearing cracking sounds- like rubber bands or the cranberries skins start to open, turn the heat down to low and cover. Keep covered at low for 10 minutes. Stir and add orange zest, orange juice and 1/2 of the remaining sugar spice mix. Toss well and cover again for 5 minutes. Turn off heat and add remaining sugar and nuts. Mix well and chill for at least 2 hours. It is really good hot too. Yum!
