It was as good as it was easy. It was delicious. I will definitely be making this again for sure.
This will be my go to recipe! Much better than the ones I have tried. The only change I made, as others suggested, was to decrease the cloves; only added a pinch. Freezing some of it since I am the only one who eats cranberry sauce. We’re having two Thanksgivings due to grandkids schedule.
Best recipe I have found. We love it!
I have been cooking over 50 years and this is the best cranberry relish I have ever made. I will have to make sure I have frozen cranberries so I can make this year round.
OH MY GOODNESS!! This is a GREAT recipe! My husband even liked it! I used Triple Sec instead of the Cointreau or Grand Marnier. It was delicious as is, but I will cut back on the cloves next time.
So yummy! So easy! It’s a keeper !
Scrumptious! As a previous reviewer stated, why make this only at holiday time. Freeze the cranberries and enjoy this delicious side throughout the year. Last Thanksgiving, I made this using half Cointreau and half Triple Sec. Since then, I have used only Triple Sec. If there is a difference in taste it isn’t detectable. I would suggest making this ahead of time as it seems to taste even better with “age”.
This is a must not only for Thanksgiving, but year round. Also makes a wonderful cranberry orange cake.
Absolutely wonderful and very easy to make.
Absolutely delicious!! So easy to make, 30 minutes start to finish including prep. We saw Ted make it on The Kitchen and had to try it for Thanksgiving. Kept eating the leftovers until they were gone. Made more just to have on hand for anything. Some times just a couple of spoonfuls straight up. This will be a standard in our fridge from now on!
