Hot Cranberry Sauce
1 tablespoon butter
1 jalapeno pepper, cored, seeded and minced (see tester's note)
1 rib celery, trimmed and diced
2 to 3 tablespoons brown sugar
1 1/2 cups fresh cranberries
Juice of 1 orange (about 3 tablespoons)
Melt butter in a medium pot. Add the jalapeno and celery; saute over
medium-high heat for 2 minutes or until tender. Add 2 tablespoons
brown sugar, cranberries and orange juice. Bring to a boil. Reduce
heat to medium and cook until the berries pop and the mixture
thickens and forms a sauce, about 5 to 10 minutes, stirring
constantly. Taste before removing from heat. If the sauce isn't
hot-sweet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon brown sugar. Cook for 1
minute to dissolve the sugar.
