Title: Using leftover cranberry sauce? Does anyone have any recipes?
Post by: korrick on February 12, 2012, 07:33:24 am

Hi, I made way too much cranberry sauce for Christmas - it seemed that only I was eating it!!!! Does anyone know how long it lasts in the fridge - there's nothing growing on it yet!
Anyone know how to use it up. I would appreciate any recipes. Thanks

Korrick I don't know how much you have, probably heaps but I just use it on chicken or turkey sandwiches after Christmas - that's one sandwich my DH does enjoy.  Just how long homemade sauce would last I don't know, perhaps you can freeze it in very small tubs before it does go off.  You can use it instead of Lingonberry jam for Swedish Meat balls (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=4632.15), it can be served with roast chicken or chicken fillets, add it to the centre of some muffins before baking.

Thanks JD for the quick response - I know I can count on you! I will try on sandwiches, swedish meatballs and maybe freeze. Didn't think about freezing! silly.

I usually add it to berry jam ,  when we have had enough on sandwiches .

I think it would go well with deep fried Camembert.

You could put some cranberry sauce into raspberry jelly (as if you would just happen to be making that!)  - here are the ingredients for  the recipe that was in our newspaper yesterday:

1 1/4 tsp gelantine powder, 1 1/2 cups (375 ml) cranberry juice (original recipe calls for juice but try using your sauce), 1/4 cup (55g) castor sugar, 80g + raspberries, and to serve separately whisk together 1 cup pouring cream, 1/4 cup coconut cream .


You could also put a couple of tablespoons of it in with any casserole or curry that could do with a piquant boost.

I mix it into quick breads - pumpkin, carrot, zucchini, etc., (about 1/4 cup per loaf)  and I reduce the sugar by 1/3 for 1/4 cup of sauce and it may need to bake a bit longer. 

There are a few recipes on the 'net that incorporate cranberry sauce.  Such as this one. (http://www.yummly.com/recipe/Cranberry-Pumpkin-Bread-Recipezaar_3)  just to give you an idea.
