Fresh Cranberry Sauce Recipe

This is the best way to cook cranberries. There is NO need to add orange, or lemon, or zest, or anything! KISS! (Keep It Simple Stupid) Don't mess with perfection!

First time making it. Altho I started with white sugar, it wasn't quite the taste I was looking for. I added brown sugar and Viole'! I squeezed orange juice for the tartness. I'll be making this and NOT use canned!

I blended the sauce with an immersion blender while it was still hot. It tasted great with 2 cups of sugar and A little more water then was needed. I am only 11 years old and it was really easy to follow the instructions! I totally recommend it for thanksgiving or anything else!!

I would add only a 1/2 cup of sugar if you use orange juice, and zest and squeeze the same fresh orange for a wonderful orange cranberry sauce. 1/2 cup o sugar cuts down on needless sweet and calories and you can actually taste the cranberries. Wonderful natural sweet-tart!

My husband is diabetic so I used 1 1/2 cups of Spenda instead of sugar. It was excellent.

I used about 1 1/2 c of sugar, and did it the night before Thanksgiving, so it had plenty of time to cool and settle. It was wonderful. I'm the only one in my family who eats it (and none of them eat the canned stuff, either), but that was fine. More for me!

I used half white and half brown sugar. I also used the zest of one orange. Rather than waste the orange juice, I added the juice of the orange and water to make 1 cup. Delicious!

Super simple and came out really yummy. Added orange juice instead of water, and added about 1/4 tsp. of all spice to it. Whisked it so it would mash it a little too.

This was so easy and turned out great! I added a little bit of real Maple syrup and also a couple of TJs candied orange slices (removed the rind at the end). So delicious will make this again! And I may have to because it may not make it to Thanksgiving!!

I made it as directed. I felt it was too sweet. I used orange juice. Next time I will use 1/2 the amount of sugar. My wife added mandarin oranges and chopped walnuts.

Love this quick and easy cranberry recipe. The only thing I changed was I added two Mandarin cuties that I pulverized. I also added one half a cup of sugar and one half a cup of brown sugar. The recipe turned out perfect!

Made it today — perfection.

Can’t believe I made this myself.

Quick and easy, I forgot to buy juice so this recipe was perfect and taste great

I'm not a fan of cranberry sauce, but we needed to get away from the canned stuff for my husband and I found this recipe to try. He loved it and asked for more mere days later. Now he wants double. So I'd say it's a hit and well work the time . I like the limited amount of ingredients too.

Perfect tartness and much tastier than store bought! Thanks for sharing.

Made the recipe exactly. Fantastic!

Once you make it like this, you'll never go back to the canned stuff. I used canned for the better part of 40 years. No more!

No changes and it was great!

Instead of making our traditional Cranberries salad with Granny Smith apples, walnuts, Celery, and Raspberry jello, cinnamon, etc. I am going to try and use this recipe but instead of water I am going to substitute in Pineapple juice, and play around with the sugar levels to see if I can get a better taste. I will be using sugar-free Raspberry Jello, I didn't get any apples this year the price is crazy at least for good apples. I am baking Kings Hawaiian Dinner Rolls my Grandmothers recipe so have lots of pineapple juice around. I might have to adjust or add something else to help flavor the Cranberries. Then again we also enjoy the plane old style Cranberries, Sugar, water and nothing else but a dash of sugar, lemon juice to keep it from being too sweet and too sour.
