Ruby Cranberry Sauce Recipes

RUBY CRANBERRY VANILLA SAUCE

Steps:

• Stir together the cranberries, sugar, and water in a 2-qt. saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until mixture comes to a boil, 5-10 minutes.
• Continue cooking, stirring often, until cranberries pop and mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, 3-4 minutes longer.
• Remove pan from heat; cool 30 minutes.
• Stir in the vanilla; transfer to a bowl, cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
• Bring to room temperature before using, or if serving as a sauce, warm in the microwave for 1-2 minutes, stirring once, until desired consistency is reached.

PERFECT CRANBERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• Empty a 12-ounce bag of fresh or frozen cranberries into a saucepan and transfer 1/2 cup to a small bowl.

Increase the heat to medium and cook until the cranberries burst, about 12 minutes. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the reserved cranberries. Add sugar, salt and pepper to taste and cool to room temperature before serving.

Remove from heat; whisk in 2 1/2 tablespoons sugar, rum, extract, and salt. Transfer to large bowl. Place plastic wrap directly onto surface of soufflé base. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover; chill. Bring to room temperature; whisk until smooth before continuing.
• Butter eight 3/4-cup custard cups or ramekins; sprinkle with sugar, tilting cups to coat completely and tapping out any excess. Place cups on rimmed baking sheet. Using electric mixer, beat egg whites in large bowl until soft peaks form. Gradually add 21/2 tablespoons sugar and beat until medium-stiff peaks form. Add 1/4 of whites to coconut base and whisk until lightened. Add remaining whites in 2 additions and fold in with rubber spatula. Fold in crushed toasted coconut. Divide soufflé mixture among prepared cups; smooth tops. DO AHEAD: Can be made 6 hours ahead. Cover and chill.
