Becky’s Mom’s Cranberry Sauce

  4.9 – 10 reviews  • Cranberry Sauce Recipes

a straightforward recipe for a vanilla milkshake. If you prefer, add chocolate, berries, peaches, or anything else. In place of milk, my kids choose to add root beer.

I do not even like cranberry sauce but my husband insisted he had to have it. This is by far the BEST cranberry sauce I have ever had. Had some leftover and made cranberry oat bars. Recipe is perfect as is.

Very nice little recipe. I decided to make it on the stove top right before my turkey was done cooking, hence I had no room for it in the oven. I used around 7 oz of Triple sec and it turned out quite nice and it only took around 20-30 minutes to get it to the desired consistency. My husband really liked it and wants me to make it again for Christmas.

Very good. I did not have orange juice so I used the juice of one orange and some zest. I divided the sugar for 1/2 cup brown sugar and 3/4 white sugar. Also didnot have Grand Marnier but used Orange Triple Sec liqueur. Baked in oven for 1 -1/2 hours at 275 in a taller cast iron pan. Other recipes mentioned boiling over but with the lower temp, higher sided pan, I did not have any issues. At the end, I used a potato masher to create thickness. We used the cranberry sauce to mix with BBQ sauce over left over Turkey. It was very awesome!

I made it just as directed and it was perfect. I used Grand Marnier and it added a zip that everyone loved. This recipe will become a Thanksgiving tradition.

We thought this was the BEST cranberries!! So good with the turkey!! Thanks. Update 2022: We have been making this for 6 years now, and hands down it is the best!

So easy and delicious!! After making this just one time, I vow to NEVER EVER buy canned cranberry ‘jelly’ again!! It tasted so good, that my daughter and I wanted to eat it by itself like it was a pudding. Thank you for the awesome recipe!!

A big hit at my thanksgiving dinner. People were asking for the recipe.

This was very good! I added 1/2 cup orange juice and 1/2 tsp. orange extract. If there was a fresh orange I would have grated some orange rind into the mixture. Cheated and cooked it on the top of the stove for about 20-30 minutes on a low heat stirring often.
Annette Rojas
THE BEST!
