How to Make Cranberry Sauce

Using fresh cranberries! Learn how to make this Thanksgiving staple! This recipe is stupid simple (did I say that already? ;-) ) and better than the canned gel stuff you get in a can at Thanksgiving. Something I noticed, none of the recipes out there that I saw said to skim the foam...I did and it really helped to get the bitter bite out of the cranberries. I tasted the foam out of curiosity and it was disgusting. SKIM your sauce!!

What you'll need:
1 (12oz) pkg fresh cranberries
1 cup orange juice
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar

In a large colander, rinse the cranberries well and pick out any berries that are damaged or broken. Place drained cranberries into a large sauce pan. Add orange juice and sugars and heat on high until just to a boil, stirring often. When boiling, turn heat down to medium and cook 10 minutes, stirring often to prevent sticking and burning of sugars. Let cool in the saucepan and transfer to a bowl to serve or refrigerate. Makes 2-1/2 cups of sauce. Enjoy!
