Reviews
This recipe is excellent! For those of you who are wondering about the orange, I recommend that you leave out the white part (pith) and most of the flesh. Instead, cut the orange peel into strips, then chop into small bits (while eating this will be a more pleasant than finding large strips in your food). I also juiced the remaining orange with a little pulp for additional sweetness and flavor.
This cranberry sauce is the only one that I make for Thanksgiving. It is the easiest and most flavorful cranberry sauce I’ve ever tasted. I make an extra batch for myself so my family can enjoy it after the holidays.
I agree with a previous reviewer, it is not clear whether you use the whole orange and juice or just the zest.
so easy and tastes so much better than canned cranberry sauce
This is an awesome recipe! I do not like cranberry sauce made from scratch and I usually buy the canned. However, my husband’s family only likes the made from scratch kind. I tried it today and I love it! So simple too that you can add or substitute anything to make it your own!
A distinct kind of cranberry sauce you won’t have everywhere! Hard to mess up, and easy to spruce up!
everyone i made these for ranted and raved that they were the “best” they had EVER had! Easy as well!!
The sauce has the perfect amount of citrus.
This is less a sauce, and more of a relish. Regardless, it has a nice flavor, though I’ll just microplane the zest instead of using it as strips next time. The orange flavor was great, but some people didn’t like it when they bit into a strip (even though quite thin). I’d also recommend making this at least a day in advance – the flavors really come together after some time to get to know each other!
So great sauce. Orange zest and cinnamon make sauce delicious. I add little bit of sugar.
Thanks Tyler.
