Sweet Pineapple Cranberry Sauce
- 1 (12 ounce) bag fresh cranberries
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple, in juice
- 1 large orange
- pumpkin pie spice
- ground cinnamon
- Put the sugar into your saucepan.
- Zest the orange over the sugar.
- Cut the orange in half and squeeze the juice into a measuring cup.
- You want approximately 1/2 cup of orange juice.
- Discard the rinds/pulp.
- Place a mesh strainer over your measuring cup and dump in the crushed pineapple.
- Use the back of a spoon to press the pineapple until you have gotten 1/2 cup of pineapple juice (making 1 full cup including the orange juice).
- Set aside half of the strained pineapple, and discard or save the rest.
- Dump the cup of juice into the saucepan with the sugar and orange zest.
- Stir well.
- Rinse your cranberries in a pot of water.
- Discard any sinkers and overripe (mushy) berries.
- Put your rinsed berries into your saucepan with the sugar, juice, and orange zest.
- Bring everything to a boil over medium heat, stirring frequently.
- Continue to boil (and frequently stir) for about 20 minutes.
- This is much longer than it takes for all the berries to pop, but it thickens the sauce.
- Remove the sauce from heat and stir in the pineapple that you set aside.
- Season with a couple small shakes (1/8 teaspoon?)
- of pumpkin pie spice and some generous shakes (1/4 teaspoon?)
- of ground cinnamon.
- Refrigerate overnight.
- The warm sauce might taste bitter, but the cold sauce shouldn't.
