About Me

My photo
I am 26 years old and learning more about myself every single day. More recently, my boyfriend (JD) and I have been on a quest to save our pennies by not eating out so often! ...Heck, maybe I'll even lose a few pounds in the process..? However, this also means I'll need to learn how to cook! I got the idea to start this blog from watching the movie Julie & Julia, but also from attempting a few recipes from a fellow blogger just this past weekend! I have tons of recipes I plan to test out... So, here goes nothin'! Enjoy! xo.

McCormick Home-Style Cranberry Sauce

MmMmMm.. This cranberry sauce was to die for! (And, I don't even like Cranberry Sauce!)

Let me be completely honest... I totally forgot to even put the cranberry sauce on the table, until I saw it in the fridge after the dinner had been served and consumed!  But, it ended up being a funny mistake!  JD's mom, Debbie, and I actually ate it for dessert! Yummmmmmy!

Ingredients:
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 package (12 ounces) fresh cranberries, rinsed and drained
  • 1/2 teaspoon McCormick® Cinnamon, Ground
  • 1/2 teaspoon grated orange peel (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon McCormick® Pure Vanilla Extract

Directions:

Mix sugar and water in medium saucepan. Bring to boil on medium-high heat. Add cranberries, cinnamon and orange peel; return to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer 10 minutes or until cranberries burst and sauce begins to thicken, stirring occasionally.
 

Remove from heat. Stir in vanilla. Cool to room temperature. Cover.
 

Refrigerate until ready to serve.


Awesome Tip:
You can actually make this sauce up to a week ahead of time and refrigerate until you're ready to serve it!

 This sauce was scrumptious! Mmmm Mmmm GOOD!
