How to Make Cranberry Sauce With Jalapeno Peppers

  1. Rinse 12 ounces of fresh cranberries under cold water and drain thoroughly.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of water and 1 cup of granulated sugar. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely.
  3. Add 12 ounces of fresh cranberries and 1-2 jalapeno peppers, finely minced (remove seeds and membranes for less heat). Return to a boil.
  4. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer gently for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries have burst and the sauce has thickened slightly.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice and 2 tablespoons of sherry (optional).
  6. Let the sauce cool completely at room temperature. This allows the flavors to meld.
  7. Refrigerate in an airtight glass container for at least 2 hours (or up to a week) to allow the flavors to fully develop.
  8. Serve chilled with your favorite holiday meats or use as a topping for cheese and crackers.
