Want to know how to make your canned cranberry sauce, follow the steps that we will share and what you need to prepare.
WHAT YOU’LL NEED
– Canned Cranberry Sauce
Choose the jelly version instead of the whole cranberry version, and you will need two cans to make this recipe.
– Oranges
Use a sharp knife to cut off the ends of the oranges. Slice off the outer skin by first laying the orange upright. When the skin is open, you will be able to see the membrane. This membrane is a thin, paper-like substance that connects the citrus tissues. Slice straight through the membrane, right side, and left side, and it should come out easily without the membrane.
– Pomegranate Seeds or Arils
You will also need about a cup of pomegranate seeds. Make sure to remove all the white parts.
– Italian Parsley
To make Canned Cranberry Sauce with this recipe, finely chop some Italian parsley. This herb will cut through the sweetness of the canned cranberries, and it will also add to the deliciousness.
– Dressing
Toss the orange and pomegranate seed mixture, and add a pinch of salt, and olive oil before adding it to the cranberry sauce.
