Making Christmas Merry {Whipped Boursin with Cranberry Pepper Jelly Sauce & Mother’s Cranberry Sauce}

Y’all know I adore the Cheese Gal. When she published this Whipped Boursin with Cranberry Pepper Jelly Sauce I knew it would be perfect! Every family has their holiday must-haves and Mother’s homemade cranberry sauce is one of ours. The husbands didn’t grow up on it and tend not to care for it. And so, we always have extra! I used that to make this recipe and it was delicious.

Mother’s Cranberry Sauce

This recipe makes much more than you will need for the cheese appetizer! I served most of it with Thanksgiving, just scooping out the amount needed for the dip.

  • 12oz fresh cranberries (About 3 cups)
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup fresh orange juice
  • zest of 1 orange
  • 1/4 cup grand marnier
  • 1/4 cup water
  • pinch of salt
  1. Prepare ingredients: Rinse cranberries and discard any soft or damaged. Zest orange. Squeeze juice.
  2. Cook the sauce: In a medium saucepan, combine berries, sugar, juice, water and salt. Bring to a boil over med-high heat. Reduce to med-low and simmer for 10-15 mins, stirring occasionally, until berries have burst and sauce has thickened.
  3. Remove from heat and add orange zest and grand marnier. Let cool to room temp. Chill for 2 hours before serving.

There are some other amazing Cheese Gal recipes I use on rotation. In fact, we enjoyed a number of them last week!
