A taste of Nantucket

I was digging for a new Cranberry Sauce recipe, and what better place to find what I was looking for but from the Cranberry capital of the world, Nantucket. This recipe originated from one of our favorite restaurants on Nantucket, 21 Federal – a 2nd great reason I had to check this one out. And in less than 3o minutes it took to make (photography included) I’m happy to report back that it’s absolutely delicious!

A Nantucket Cranberry Sauce (adapted from 21 Federal, Nantucket)

1 cup orange juice

1/4 cup maple syrup

1/4 cup light molasses

2 tablespoons brown sugar

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

1/4 teaspoon salt

12 ounce bag of fresh cranberries

• Combine everything except the cranberries in a heavy saucepan and stir occasionally over medium heat until sugar dissolves.
• Reduce heat to low and add the cranberries. Simmer until the cranberries begin to burst – about 10 minutes.
• Increase heat to high and boil until mixture is reduced to about 1-3/4 cups, stirring occasional for about 15 minutes.

Serve at room temperature. This sauce can be made ahead of time. Cover and refrigerate.

Enjoy.
