Cooking Tips
When preparing this Liberty Tree Tavern-inspired cranberry sauce, be sure to taste as you go and adjust the sweetness to your preference—add a touch more sugar if it’s too tart or more orange juice if it’s overly sweet. Stir frequently as it simmers to prevent any berries from sticking to the pan, and don’t rush the process; allow enough time for the cranberries to burst and the mixture to thicken naturally. Remember that the sauce will continue to thicken as it cools, so remove it from the heat when it’s slightly thinner than the consistency you’re aiming for, and it will set perfectly by the time you’re ready to serve.
