How to Make Alton Brown's Cranberry Dipping Sauce
- Combine 1 (12-ounce) bag fresh cranberries, 1 cup orange juice, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup orange zest, 1/4 cup water, 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt in a medium saucepan.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Reduce heat to low, and simmer gently, stirring occasionally, for 30-45 minutes, or until the cranberries have burst and the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency (approximately half the original volume).
- Carefully transfer the sauce to a blender (or use an immersion blender) and puree until completely smooth.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
- Serve warm in individual ramekins or a small bowl for easy dipping alongside your Thanksgiving turkey.
