The stated 25 minutes does not establish a fixed refrigerator cooling time. Two cups is a batch volume, not two servings; measure the portions you actually serve.

Ingredients

Whole cranberries, sugar, water, orange juice and a separate small cup of amber tincture
Keep the orange juice and tincture separate from the berries until the final simmer.

Instructions

  1. Whole cranberries, sugar and water together in a saucepan

    Dissolve the sugar

    Combine cranberries, sugar and water in saucepan.

    Heat on high-heat until sugar dissolves and mixture starts to boil.

  2. Whole and burst cranberries simmering in the saucepan

    Simmer until the berries burst

    Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes, or until most of the cranberries start to burst.

  3. Orange juice pouring into the cooked cranberries

    Stir in the orange juice and cannabis tincture. Allow mixture to simmer for an additional minute.

  4. A bowl of finished cranberry sauce being set on a refrigerator shelf

    Allow cranberry sauce to finish cooling in the refrigerator before serving.

COOKING NOTES

Keep the berries, not a rigid clock, in view.

Use fresh or frozen fruit
The ingredient list permits either. Follow the burst-berry cue during the simmer rather than assuming all berries soften at exactly the same moment.
Use food-grade tincture
Check the product label before cooking. The one-minute finish does not establish that an alcohol-based tincture has become alcohol-free.
Cool before serving
Move the sauce off the heat to a serving bowl and finish cooling in the refrigerator. Keep covered, labeled, and refrigerated between servings.

A condiment still needs a measured portion.

The full two-cup batch contains ¼ cup cannabis tincture. Enter the known THC in that measured tincture and your actual number of portions in the THC estimator. A bowl volume does not define the dose in a spoonful. Keep the sauce labeled and refrigerated.

Label as cannabis edibles and lock away from children and pets. Effects can take hours; avoid taking more while waiting.
