Reviews
My mom and I started making this recipe a few years before she passed and we loved it so much we would just eat it with a spoon by itself! I continue to make it every year and think of our love for it. It’s amazing how the wonderful smells and tastes of foods can bring back the best memories instantly. Thank you for a wonderful recipe that means so much to me!
Delicious! I have been making this for years! I just made a double batch and put it in the freezer. One batch to serve with Thanksgiving turkey. The other to serve with Christmas ham. Thank you, Ina
I make this recipe every Thanksgiving. It is delicious. I make it in advance and freeze it. It thaws out beautifully and freezes well.
This was great! How long will it keep, if kept refrigerated?
This is so delicious!! I have been making this for years as a Thanksgiving staple. With how easy this is there is no reason to use the caned stuff!
I’ve been making this recipe for many years (since I first saw Ina prepare this on The Barefoot Contessa). It’s a Thanksgiving favorite!
My family requested this for thanksgiving, everyone loved it. I made it 2 more times since. We love it with plain yogurt. Thank you for a delightful recipe.
FANTASTIC BIG HIT
Oh my gosh it is soooo good. I like the taste of cranberries but don’t like the skin and other pieces so I decoded to try to put the whole cooked thing in my Vitamix. OH MY!!!! So good. I have had to share with friends once I made them taste it. We put it at breakfast on a piece of toast or bagel over cream cheese, we put some over cream cheese on a graham cracker as a quick snack and/or spoon some on yogurts. I had used walnuts and next time will try pecans. My Vitamiix creamed it all easily. I had also added a splash of brandy and that was great too. This can be for Thanksgiving as cranberry sauce but after that or at anytime during the year can be used in so many ways. Thank you for such great great recipe and happy Holidays to all.
Even those that in the past haven’t even looked at any cranberry dish. I have been making this for several years and it is a hit with my youngest grandchildren to my mom & dad. So easy to make, usually make extra for “take home”!
