Cranberry Mandarin Sauce

Original Recipe at: www.grocery.coop

Shop Field Day deals this November and for each product sold, we’ll donate 0.05 to NĀTIFS.

This bright red sauce, studded with jewels of orange, looks beautiful in a bowl or on a plate. It’s also deceptively simple and requires only rudimentary orange-peeling skills. Buy the smallest mandarins you can find, for petite, bite-sized bursts of orange. A little maple syrup is all you need to sweeten the sauce.

Ingredients

  • 4 small mandarin oranges

  • 3 cups cranberries

  • 1/2 cup maple syrup {Field Day Product}

  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla {Field Day Product}

Preparation

  1. Peel, separate and remove the pith from the mandarin segments, and place in a two-quart pot.

  2. Add the cranberries, syrup and vanilla and stir. Place over high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and stir frequently for about eight minutes.

  3. When the cranberries have popped and the sauce has thickened slightly, remove from heat and let cool.

  4. Transfer to a storage container and refrigerate. Keeps, tightly covered, for a week.

Serving Suggestions

Serve with roasted meats, atop sweet potatoes or even over ice cream!
