I tweaked it just a smidge: I added 1/2 c of chopped pecans 6 oz can of mandarin orange segments (drained) and 3 tbsp of brown sugar. I have never made cranberry sauce from scratch before and was curious about how it would "gel"- all of those little berries popped and question answered! I put everything in a saucepan med flame for 10 min. stirred it up and: Fabulous! This will be my recipe from now on!! It is even better the next day. So this could be a day-before recipe too! Thanks so much for the submission!!!!
This is good stuff! I wasn't able to find unsweetened apple juice concentrate (even at the health food store!) so I just used the kind with sugar. I was actually glad I did because it is definitely tart! Thanks for a great recipe!
I LOVE this recipe! I've always been a huge fan of canned cranberry sauce but in the past few years I haven't bought a single can. This recipe is amazingly simple and amazingly delicious. I buy extra cranberries in November and December and freeze them just so I won't have to wait until fall to have more.
I tried this with a little different tack: I used 7 pared and chopped apples (not peeled) and two bags of cranberries. Then I crocked it for 12 hours. It turned out very tart--I added about a 1/4 c. of white sugar--and not quite as 'apple saucy'-as I wanted. I think next time I'll raise the apple-to-cranberry ratio maybe with same # of apples but only one bag of cranberries. This left me with 1 1/2 qt of sauce plenty for a large dinner party.
Loved this recipe! I like my cranberries not to sweet still on the tart side so the apple juice concentrate was enough sweetener (didn't add sugar). Plus the juice is a healthier natural sweetener instead of refined sugar. Definitely a keeper!
Very good! I totally misread the recipe and ended up using regular apple juice....wondered why it was so tart! I ended up adding agave nectar to it and it was very good!
I never liked cranberries before I tried this recipe 2 years old when I made thanksgiving dinner with my father in law (he can't have sugar) ANd I love it now I will make every year. It also so easy. Great job.
This is awesome if you don't mind your cranberry sauce on the tart side. I doubled the amount of apple concentrate and used this with 12 oz of cranberries. This was the perfect sweetness for me. No need for extra sugar.
I couldn't believe how easy and delicious this recipes is. I did add sugar to mine about 4 tablespoons. I plan on making it again at my next holiday meal!
Do not like how tart this is
