Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

In a medium saucepan, combine orange juice, white sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until sugars are completely dissolved. (Approximately 5 minutes)

02

Step
30 mins

Add the chopped cranberries, crushed pineapple (with its juice), and toasted walnuts to the saucepan. Continue to cook, stirring frequently to prevent sticking, until the sauce has slightly reduced and thickened to your desired consistency. (Approximately 25-30 minutes)

03

Step
2 mins

Remove the saucepan from the heat and gently stir in the orange liqueur. This adds a final layer of complexity and aroma to the sauce.

04

Step
4 hrs

Transfer the cranberry-pineapple sauce to a heat-safe container. Allow it to cool completely, then cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld together beautifully.

For a smoother sauce, use a food processor to pulse the cranberries before cooking.
Toasting the walnuts enhances their flavor and adds a delightful crunch.
If you prefer a less sweet sauce, reduce the amount of sugar to your liking.
A splash of lemon juice can brighten the flavors even further.
This sauce can be made up to 3 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
