Honey Bourbon Cranberry Sauce Bold and Flavorful Recipe

Ingredients

• 12 oz fresh cranberries
• 1 cup honey
• 1 2 cup water
• 1 2 cup orange juice
• 1 4 cup maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1 2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 4 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1 tablespoon lemon zest
• 1 4 cup bourbon-flavored extract
• 1 pinch salt

Instructions

1. Rinse the cranberries under cold water and remove any stems or damaged berries, then set aside.
2. In a medium saucepan, combine water, orange juice, and honey over medium heat. Stir until the honey is dissolved.
3. Add the cranberries to the saucepan, and bring to a gentle boil.
4. Reduce heat to a simmer, and allow the mixture to cook for about 10 minutes, or until most of the cranberries burst. Stir occasionally.
5. Mix in the maple syrup, ground ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon zest, and a pinch of salt. Continue to simmer for another 5 minutes until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.
6. Remove the pan from heat and stir in the bourbon-flavored extract for that extra depth without the alcohol.
7. Allow the sauce to cool slightly before transferring it to a serving dish or airtight container. The sauce will thicken further as it cools.
