Chipotle Cranberry Sauce

November 22, 2012 by Natalie

One of my favorite condiments in the world!!  I LOVE cranberry sauce…

This one’s got a little kick- a little sweet, a little tangy, a little spicy.  It’ made with orange juice, orange flesh, some honey, and yes, you guessed it- chipotle (my newest favorite “secret” ingredient).  It’s a spin-off from a Fieri recipe I saw eons back.  I’ve been making this three Thanksgivings in a row now… I must like it 😉

Serves about 4-6

INGREDIENTS

1/2 tbsp healthy cooking oil (I like avocado or ghee)

1/2 tsp minced Serrano pepper, plus more as desired

2 cups cranberries

3/4 cup orange juice

3 tbsp honey

1/4 cup water

1/2 an orange, quartered

3/4 tsp ground cinnamon

1/8 tsp ground chipotle pepper

1/4 tsp salt


DIRECTIONS
Finely chop Serrano pepper- remove seeds to lessen spiciness if you prefer

Heat oil in a saucepan over medium heat

Toss in Serrano pepper and let cook for a few minutes, until softened

Then add orange juice, honey, and water

Let liquid heat until lightly boiling

Then add cranberries

Quarter the orange half- remove peel and any rough skin- you want just the flesh and juice, no pith

Add to cranberries

Add cinnamon, chipotle powder, and salt

Stir and let come to a light boil

Continue cooking until cranberries pop- about 5 minutes

Then turn to low and let simmer until thickened, about 15 minutes

Taste and adjust seasonings as desired

Pour sauce into a bowl and let refrigerate until cold

(If in a hurry- you can cover and freeze for a while to expedite the process)

When ready to eat, remove from fridge…

Top with a little fresh herb of some sort, and enjoy!!
