Cranberry Sauce with a Touch of Bourbon and a Hint of Cinnamon
A really good cranberry sauce is a great way to complement roast turkey and pork dishes. This recipe uses a touch of bourbon and cinnamon to add some depth of flavor and interesting notes to the cranberry sauce.
This cranberry sauce recipe is a little tart, to make sure it doesn’t overpower the dish it’s being served with if you like your cranberry sauce sweeter use a 1/2 cup of brown sugar.
Cranberry sauce is also a good way to make those leftover turkey sandwiches shine, just spread a little on top and your good to go.
Too often cranberry sauce gets relegated to Thanksgiving or as a sidekick to turkey, which is too bad because it’s also delicious on things like a Grilled Ham with Maple Bourbon Glaze or Sous Vide Pork Chops.
