One of the favorite additions to Thanksgiving dinner is Cranberry Sauce. It is wonderful to be able to have fresh cranberries to serve. Everyone enjoyed this version very much.
Cranberry-Bourbon Compote
cooking time: 20-25 minutes
1 12 ounce package of fresh or frozen cranberries
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup apple juice (I substituted orange juice)
1/4 bourbon (brandy is an excellent substitute)
Place all the ingredients in a sauce pan, heat to a slow simmer and cook, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat when the cranberries have begun to burst and the sauce has thickened. Chill.
