A neighbor brought it to Friendsgiving one year and I was hooked. I’ve even canned it to give as gifts. Ocean spray and nearly everyone from 1970 on thought orange with cranberries was the bees knees except me. Yuck. Don’t ruin my cranberry sauce with oranges please. Till this.

Mom Parsons' Cranberries

Servings: This makes about 2 1/2 cups cranberries
Ingredients
    • 3 cloves
    • 3 allspice berries
    • 2 (3-inch) cinnamon sticks
    • 1 1/2 cups sugar
    • 3/4 cup water
    • 1 (12-ounce) bag fresh cranberries
    • Grated zest of 1 orange
Steps
    • Make a sachet: Wrap the cloves, allspice and cinnamon sticks in a cheesecloth square and tie it shut. Bring sugar, water and spice sachet to a boil in a 4-quart saucepan. Cook, stirring, until the syrup is clear, about 3 minutes. Add the cranberries and cook just until they begin to pop, about 5 minutes.
    • Remove the pan from the heat, add the grated orange zest and cool. Refrigerate 1 to 3 days before serving. Remove the spice sachet before serving. This makes about 2 1/2 cups cranberries.
