Thanksgiving Recipe #2

Written by kelly on November 20th, 2009

 Cranberry sauce. It’s another favorite of mine. The recipe we’ve had the last few years is from Dave Lieberman. I maybe had a little crush on him when I discovered this recipe. Then I met Jonathan and stopped trying to figure out how to meet Dave and get him to fall in love with me so we could have a television program together.

 Dave Lieberman’s Fennel Orange Cranberry Sauce

Ingredients:
8oz fresh or frozen whole cranberries
1/2 navel orange, zested
1 whole navel orange, juiced
1/2 C sugar
1/2 C water
1/2 tsp fennel seeds

Directions:
Put everything into a saucepan. Cook over medium heat to a simmer, then reduce heat to low. Cook, stirring frequently until berries burst and water evaporates, 8-10 minutes. Cool before serving.

Confession: this always takes longer than 8 to 10 minutes to cook. And the berries? Maybe they burst because I squish them in impatience. Hey, Thanksgiving isn’t about lying.

Thanks for marrying me Jonathan. You’re hotter than Dave Lieberman!
