This makes a nice dressing for fall salads, over pears, etc. Add some chopped nuts to the salad too, and maybe some goat cheese? Very easy to make and something a little different.Ingredients:
2C fresh or frozen cranberries
1/4 C water
1/4 C orange juice
3/4 C sugar
2Tbs. walnut oil
extra orange juice for thinning dressing if needed
orange zest (optional)
salt and pepper to taste
Combine the cranberries, water, juice, and sugar in a heavy saucepan. Bring to a boil, then lower heat and let simmer for about 5 minutes, until the berries are mostly popped. Stir frequently. You want to keep an eye on this and watch out for spattering!
Remove from heat and let cool. Push the mixture through a sieve so that the skins and most of the seeds can be discarded. Add walnut oil and orange juice until the dressing is a consistency that you like. Stir in zest and S&P. Taste as you go!
