Title: Cranberry Adventures..
Post by: tp4tissue on Thu, 08 November 2018, 19:58:20

EDIT:   New Plan


Standard recipe is 3cup Cranbe to 1cup water.  This takes forever to boil off/reduce.


If Tp4 Blenders the Cranbe, This extracts water, Now Could reduce 1cup additional water to 3/8 cup ,  dramatically lowering reduction time..


Thoughts ??

Guys, what do you do about the skin and the tiny seeds.. ??

Y'all sure I'm not suppose to blend this or filter it somehow.

I have never made it but ...

If the skin is a problem ...
1) Are you sure you have cooked it enough?
2) Are you sure you have cranberries?

I think you should be able to filter the seeds by pressing the sauce through a wire-sieve using a spoon

When you boil the cranberries they just turn to goo jelly anyway, I mean you can put it through a strainer or colander after the boil. Make sure to let it set in the fridge for a few hours and all the gunk will fall to the bottom too.
I never heard of skinning cranberries idk

Eat them.  It's like the cherry filling in pies and cobbler.  Cook the cranberries until they burst, squish them a bit and add your preferred zests/aromatics.

Use potato masher instead of blender so you won't break the seeds open.

You will release the numerous tiny little seed-ghosts. They will haunt the kitchen until you cook a tofurkey, notice that the dead bird never had any ghost to begin with, say "Whatever...", roll their eyes and disappear.
