Once you try Homemade Cranberry Sauce, you’ll never reach for canned again! This recipe makes a delicious, sweet and tart sauce that is perfect served with roasted turkey. Perfect for Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Make sure to add this cranberry sauce to your holiday dinner table! It’s so easy to make and is ready in about 20 minutes. It’s sweet, tart and flavourful.

When it comes to cranberry sauce, there’s nothing like homemade.

For years the only way I served cranberry sauce was to open a can, mash it and put it into a serving bowl. <insert shocked face here haha> And we liked it well enough, until I tried homemade cranberry sauce. I can’t even tell you how big of a difference there is between canned cranberry sauce vs. fresh. Now, I don’t buy or serve canned cranberry sauce, ever.  I know that it may seem like just another thing you have to make for a big holiday dinner, but trust me, it’s worth the minimal effort it takes to make it. In fact, you can even make it days before you intend to serve it.

Homemade Cranberry Sauce Recipe Tips

• CRANBERRIES: You can use whole fresh cranberries or frozen cranberries.
• ORANGE JUICE: Use fresh or premade orange juice. Or if you don’t like the taste or orange in your cranberry sauce, just use water or apple juice.
• STORAGE: Keep in an airtight container in the fridge if you make it ahead of time. Store any leftovers the same way.

Instructions

 

• Add the cranberries, sugar, water and orange juice to a saucepan over low heat.

• Turn up the heat to low-medium and continue to cook until the cranberries burst and the sauce is the consistency that you like. This takes about 10 minutes or so.
• You will likely need to mash it with a fork or potato masher to get a soft, jammy like texture.
• Cool the sauce to room temperature before serving.
