This cranberry sauce combined with carambola has the perfect latino twist to make this Thanksgiving an extra special one. Start a tradition by including a traditional dish in your Thanksgiving dinner or by using recipes that include ingredientes Latinos!
Ingredients
- 2 ripe carambolas (starfruits)
- 1 1/4 cups freshly squeezed orange juice
- 1 cups granulated sugar
- 1 12-ounce bag cranberries (fresh or frozen)
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon allspice
- 1 small cinnamon stick
Preparation
Slice carambolas into ½ inch crosswise slices, remove seeds, dice and set aside. Combine orange juice and sugar in heavy saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring. Reduce heat to simmer; cook 5 minutes. Stir in starfruit, cranberries and ginger. Simmer, stirring, until berries pop, about 8 minutes. Set aside to cool. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
I try to post recipes that are either typical dishes from my home country of Guatemala, recipes from other Latin American countries or interesting and fun recipes with ingredients that give them some sabor Latino. If you have any suggestions or would like a specific guatemalan recipe let me know in the comments section.
