In advanced prep for T Day, I figured I would make this yummy sounding cranberry sauce ahead if time. Hmmmm - Wonder where I went wrong - I followed directions exactly - BUT - sauce never gelled so now I have a delicious-tasting cranberry/orange/ginger SOUP! Any thoughts?
I reduced water by half as recommended by other cooks, and result was only 2.5-3 cups of cranberry sauce which now isn’t enough fir dinner guests. The challenge, though, is I like the flavor with 1/2 water and a single bag of berries. You’ll need to play with the recipe for your taste.
After reading the notes of others I halved the water and added a chopped apple. The flavor of the apple wasn’t prominent. The sauce jelled nicely and is delicious. I think I’m going to add a 5 spice pod while it simmers the next time that I make it.
Proportions seemed wrong, as others have mentioned, so I adjusted to keep from being watery and too sweet. Good flavo combination, though.
