Spiced
Three Cranberry Sauce
10
quarts- serves 100
10
cups cranberry-juice cocktail
2 1/2 cups sugar
10 sticks cinnamon
10 packages (12-ounce) fresh or frozen cranberries, rinsed and
drained
5 cups (about 20 ounces) dried cranberries
1 1/4 cup honey
10
tablespoons fresh lemon zest (may use orange zest)
1/2
tablespoon ground allspice
In
a heavy saucepan over medium heat, cook the cranberry-juice
cocktail, sugar, and cinnamon stirring until the sugar dissolves.
Add
fresh and dried cranberries and cook until fresh berries pop and
dried cranberries begin to plump -- 8 minutes plus. Stir to
prevent sticking or boiling over.
Remove
from heat, remove cinnamon sticks and stir in honey, lemon or
orange zest, and allspice.
Cool the sauce
completely (takes about an hour) and transfer to serving bowls or
jar. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
