Thanksgiving Recipe – Baked Cranberries

1 Quart Fresh (or frozen) Cranberries, washed, culled & drained (2 pkgs @ 12 oz. each)

1 to 1 ½ Cups Sugar

½ Cup Water

1. While culling berries, pierce each one with a needle to curtail bursting while baking

2. Place berries in a 3 quart round, shallow pyrex casserole dish & sprinkle with 1 cup sugar.  Toss to coat berries.

3. Make a hole in the center of the berries & pour water into hole.  DO NOT STIR.  Cover Casserole.

4. Bake @ 300º approx. 25 – 45 minutes or until tender.  DO NOT BAKE LONG ENOUGH FOR BERRIES TO BURST.  They should remain whole.

5. Drain off berries & reserve liquid.  Taste and if additional sugar is needed, add it to the  liquid.

6. Microwave liquid until THIN syrup forms.  I use a Qt. Pyrex measuring cup for this step.  WATCH CAREFULLY SO IT DOES NOT CARMALIZE.

7. Pour light syrup over berries.  If additional liquid is desired, cook 2 parts water to 1 part sugar to a thin syrup and pour over berries.

8. Chill well before serving so flavors marry.

Cranberry Ice

Lovely citrus lends flavor to tart cranberries in this refreshing sorbet
that can be served up for dessert, as a palate cleanser between meals or to
liven up turkey in place of cranberry sauce.

Ingredients
2 (12 ounce) packages fresh cranberries
2 cups white sugar
1 1/4 cups fresh orange juice
1 cup fresh lemon juice

Cooking Instructions
1. In a large pot, add cranberries and enough water to cover. Boil until
cranberries begin to pop. Drain and put through a food mill placed over a
large bowl.
2. While still warm add sugar to dissolve in the warm berries. The amount of
sugar may vary depending on the tartness of the berries, so if you decide to
add more sugar remember that the mixture will be tarter when it has been
frozen.
3. After dissolving the sugar in the berries, stir in fresh squeezed orange
juice and fresh squeezed lemon juice. Pour in 8 or 9 inch square pan and
freeze overnight. Take out of the freezer 5-10 minutes before cutting.
