Ingredients

  • 10 mini mandarin oranges
  • 12 ounces fresh or frozen cranberries
  • 1 cup honey can sub sugar - see notes
  • ¼ cup bourbon see notes

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Begin by peeling the mandarin oranges. Set 6 oranges aside whole. Separate the remaining oranges into segments. 
  2. Add the cranberries, honey, and bourbon to a medium-sized pot and bring to a boil over high heat. Lower the heat to medium and continue to cook the cranberries for 5 minutes. 
  3. Add the whole mandarin and segments to the pot and carefully stir them in. Simmer for 5 minutes more then remove the pot from the heat. Let the cranberry sauce cool slightly before transferring it to a jar. 

Notes

  • Maple syrup is another option for a sweetener, but it will give a different flavor to the cranberry sauce. 
  • If you don't have or don't want to use bourbon, simply sub water.
  • Not all the mandarins will remain whole after you cook them. Some will come apart into segments, but you should have a few left to place on top when you serve it.
