Erika’s ultimate Cranberry Sauce

Erika’s Ultimate Cranberry Sauce is the best.  After you taste my Ultimate Cranberry Sauce, you will never use another recipe.  I cut down the sugar for the traditional cranberry sauce, but the sweetness of the cinnamon will compensate.  According to my daughter Erika, it isn’t a holiday unless we have this.  You can use this as a spread for sandwiches as well as your complimentary sauce for turkey.  This cranberry sauce is nice with meatloaf.  Bring it to your table the way you want.

the process

Other than the cranberries, you need to use really good Cinnamon in this recipes.  I love this Organic one that I picked up at Winners.  I also insist on the original Disaronno, although I have used Cointreau. 

Add all the ingredients in a pot as written in the recipe.

Bring to a boil and lower to medium heat.  Let cook for 5 minutes. 

Use a potato masher.  I like to leave some chunks. 

Pour into a container or pretty glass bowl. 

Made pretty and ready to take anywhere.
