Cranberry Sauce - Microwave

Recipe By: posted again to rec.food.cooking by Barb Schaller, 11-20-2007
Serving Size: 10

1 12 oz. bag fresh cranberries
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup water

Mix together cranberries, sugar and water in microwave-safe 2-quart
casserole. Cover with lid or vented plastic food wrap and microwave on
high (100% power), 6-7 minutes, stirring at 3 minutes, until cranberry
skins pop. (Maybe less time in newer, higher-powered nukers.) Frozen
cranberries will take 2 to 3 minutes longer to cook and should be
stirred twice.

Stir again and cool, covered, to room temperature. Stir and serve or
chill before serving. Makes 2 cups.

Looks right to me.

Orange-Cranberry Sauce: Prepare as directed, but substitute packed light
brown sugar for granulated sugar, orange juice for water, and finely
grated peel of one orange.

This is the one I usually make. I think a similar recipe like it is on the
back of the Oceanspray bag of fresh cranberries. The only difference is the
recipe on the bag does not include microwave directions. I've never made
it in the microwave but it looks tempting.

I pretty much follow the recipe on the back of the bag as well, but the
microwave sounds like a good idea too. When I make my sauce on the
stove top, I end up with cranberry juice specks all over. Making it in
the microwave might be a better alternative.

Ever done cranberries in a blender? And pushed the button before you put the
top on?
WOW!

We do pretty much the same thing although with a lot less sugar. Texture
comes out very nice as long as the time is watched.

Cranberry sauce is pretty easy but I have to admit I bought some ready-
made at Trader Joe's yesterday that was pretty good.

You don't cover it? I do, at least partially.

Substitute 1/2 half cup brandy for 1/2 cup of whatever water or juice
you're using, then bake the mixture in a pyrex baking dish in a 325 degree
oven until the mixture thickens. Heaven!

Thanks for this recipe! DH insisted I make the plain kind (I liked the
sound of 'spicy'😉 but at least it's done, and without standing over
the stove for half an hour stirring... I used 3/4 cup sugar and 1/2
cup water.
