Spiced-Tea Cranberry Sauce
A very aromatic cranberry sauce that appeals to your sense!
from Sunset Magazine, November 2006
- In a small saucepan, cover and bring to boil:
- 3/4 cup water
- 1 cup sugar
- 3 whole cardamom pods
- 2 whole star anise
- 2 cinnamon sticks
- Reduce heat to medium and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Add to the saucepan:
- 3 Earl Grey tea bags
- Simmer for exactly 2 minutes. Too much steeping can turn the sauce bitter.
- Remove tea bags and spices from from saucepan and add:
- 12 oz fresh cranberries
- Increase heat to medium-high and simmer until cranberries soften and sauce thickens.
- Remove from heat and let sauce cool for 5 minutes. Can be served warm or chilled. If you prefer chilled, refrigerate for 1 hour.

Serving Suggestions: This is a great garnish for any white meat: Mahogany Roasted Turkey, Roast Turkey, Pork Tenderloin. For another variation, try our orange-cranberry sauce or our Cosmopolitan Cranberry Sauce.
Cranberries are highly acidic, which discourages bacteria growth. Cranberry sauce can be made and refrigerated at least two weeks before serving, and leftovers are likely to stay fresh for another two weeks. If using frozen cranberries, do not defrost before use. Just allow extra cooking time.
