Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh cranberries
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
- 0.5 cups orange juice
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.25 cups orange liqueur (e.g., Grand Marnier or Cointreau)
- 4 scoops vanilla ice cream
- 4 sprigs optional mint leaves
Directions
Step 1
Wash the fresh cranberries thoroughly and set them aside to drain.
Step 2
In a medium-sized skillet or saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, orange zest, and orange juice. Stir to mix evenly.
Step 3
Place the skillet over medium heat and add the fresh cranberries. Stir gently and cook for 5-6 minutes, or until the cranberries begin to burst and release their juices.
Step 4
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the unsalted butter, letting it melt completely into the sauce. Simmer for another 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 5
Remove the skillet from heat, and carefully add the orange liqueur. Return the skillet to medium heat and use a long match or lighter to ignite the liquid for a flambé effect. Be cautious and step back as the alcohol burns off.
Step 6
Once the flames subside, give the sauce one more gentle stir.
Step 7
Scoop vanilla ice cream into serving bowls and spoon the warm cranberry mixture generously over each scoop.
Step 8
Garnish with optional mint leaves for a pop of color and freshness, then serve immediately.
