I selfishly admit that I never bothered with anything other than canned cranberry sauce for the simple reason that I don't like it. But this year I decided to make it myself as something a little special for my husband. He loved it and so did my mom! (Others at the table didn't even try it as they just don't like cranberry sauce either!) I used half orange juice and half water and because so many reviewers commented that it was a little on the watery side I boiled it for 15 minutes to thicken it. What I found however was that once it cooled it really thickened so 15 minutes was a little too long. My guess is that boiling this for 10 minutes would be just right. This is a beautiful sauce jewel toned definitely fresh looking fresh tasting and delicious. Best of all my husband appreciated the extra effort. It was such a snap to put together I now wonder why I never made it until now. I will never buy canned again. Read More

I gave this recipe 4 stars. I used 1/2 cup orange juice and 2/3 cup water for boiling. I also boiled for about 5 minutes then simmered for 15 to reduce the sauce. It has thickened nicely in the fridge and it tastes divine. The perfect combination of sweet and then tart. I love the way the flavors explode on my tongue with the tart follwing the sweet. This will be served again. Read More

(45) I made this for my family at Thanksgiving. It was good, but I found that about 3/4 cup of both sugars was better as the 1/2 cup was quite tart. Will use again for Christmas! Read More

This is so simple to make. I used OJ instead of water as suggested by others but cut the amount by 1/4 c. Also threw in a handful of dried cherries and a chopped apple. Yum! Read More

I made a from-scratch Christmas dinner and used this recipe. It was a complete hit and all my guests thought I slaved over it. It was so tasty and so easy I'm now adding it to my recipe box for next Christmas. Thanks! Read More

Very easy to make and turns out yummy! I used a strainer and mashed the berries to make jellied cranberry sauce. It was very tart as cranberries are. Read More

Not a cranberry sauce fan before this. Always had the canned stuff. Never again. I substituted orange juice for half of the water. It came out less firm than I would've liked so next time I'll use less liquid. But there will definitely be a next time. Everyone had to eat it out of a bowl but they loved it! Read More
