Fabulous! I didn't have whole spices so I used ground. I only had time to chill it for a couple of hours but it still tasted great!
I made two different cranberry sauces for Thanksgiving dinner this year - my usual Oranged Cranberry Sauce from this site and this one. I cut it back to 8 servings but otherwise followed the recipe. It was a beautiful flavorful sauce just a tad sweeter than I like. That could simply be the result of the fruit I used (pears can really vary in sweetness) and is easily fixed by adding a portion of the sugar then adding more as needed after the fruit has had time to release its juices. I'll definitely make this again!
"SUPERB" is right! Excellent flavor and texture combinations. Everyone raved about it! I did choose to add more cranberries than the 6 cups called for....it was just a bit sweet for my taste as I enjoy a more tart flavor to my cranberry sauce. Just a personal preference issue not really a criticism.
This was the first time that I cooked homemade cranberry sauce and I was very excited to see that this incorporated fruit other than just cranberries. I left it in the fridge for approximately 24 hours but it didn't gel up the way that I thought it would. Also it was delicious but just way too sweet to eat as a side dish. My husband said that it could probably be used as filling or a topping for a dessert because it is very sweet. Although the sweetness bothered us the taste was very good; hence I will be making it again. Next time I will cut back on the sugar and use more cranberries.
dont know what happened when i rated this before but its a solid 5...
This cranberry sauce was amazing. I made it without the allspice to satisfy some of our holiday guests. But the best part was that my dad and grandpa who don't even like cranberry sauce loved this. It was a great mix of fruits and spices AND very easy to make.
Lisa - This is a great recipe for Home Made Cranberry Sauce. It is so easy to make and the results are perfection!! We had a Christmas Dinner party and I used your recipe. I did not change one thing and everyone loved it!! They all wanted the recipe -so I printed up your recipe and shared it with them. Thank you for sharing it with the ALLRECIPE.COM family.
Was a Thanksgiving hit. YUM!!
I have made this cranberry compote the past three Thanksgivings...and it is ALWAYS a hit! It is a great accompaniment to the turkey and stuffing. For best results make it a day ahead of time and refrigerate so that ingredients meld together...yum! (side note...who would ever just open a can of cranberry sauce and serve it??)
