With samosas and mint raita, this chutney pairs especially well thanks to its sweet and tangy flavor. For better flavor, prepare it at least two weeks ahead of time or the day before serving.

I was so thrilled with the end product. I will never buy canned cranberry sauce again. Added a pinch of cinnamon which did not disappoint!
Turned out tasty I cooked on the stove instead of the microwave.
I made it using Spenda & doubled it. With the notes from a previous rater, I added the cornstarch as she suggested & a bit of orange zest. Everyone loved it. Next time I’ll a Jalapeno twist.
I know you guys don’t like reviews when the recipe has been changed but I couldn’t figure out how to submit my own recipe. I’m creative but flaky. I used a 12 oz bag of cranberries, not frozen. I used 3/4 sugar, 3/4 brown sugar, 1 cup water, 1/2 cup orange juice, about 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon and 1/3 cup raisins. I followed the cooking instructions and let chill overnight. It came out FANTASTIC! I’m ashamed to say I’ve always used canned sauce but NEVER again! I made this in less than 10 minutes on Wednesday, so I had one thing done before the major cooking on Thursday. I will make two bags of cranberries sauce next time and adjust other ingredients accordingly so I have more left over. I ate the remaining sauce over Friday and Saturday. Absolutely scrumptious. I can’t tell how how good this tasted. It was magical and fast. I got compliments, ooo’s and ahhh’s from all my guests. I love cranberries and I love raisins so I’m in heaven.
YUMMY, YUMMY, YUMMY!
Loved this. Fast and delicious
Just made this, with the slight modification of 1/2 white and 1/2 brown sugar, and it is spectacular. I had attempted cranberry sauce several years ago using a complicated recipe that ended up being too watery, so was leary of trying again. This recipe is so easy, and so quick, and very tasty warm. I can’t wait to try it once chilled. I will definitely be making this again!
Very good taste ,was a hit and simple to make !
This is an easy recipe, fast and fun to make. I did a test run on top of the stove and add some baked apple slices, (cooked enough but still able to hold their shape), and also some orange zest.
I used dole orange juice instead of water to give it that tangy zip.
Yum!! I made this recipe with frozen cranberries and increased the cook time by 3 mins.
For a simple traditional whole berry sauce, this is it! I tried a different alcohol-infused special relish and ended up in the trash! This is it for the purist. My daughter-in-law won’t eat anything but the canned jelly, but even she liked this one a LOT!
I think adding orange juice like with another cranberry sauce on this site would yield a better result. Still, it’s good.
I Will never buy canned again! I added a little grand mariner, and the flesh of a naval orange when cooled. This is the best cranberry sauce ever. The one question put to me, “why have we been buying canned all these years”?
I doubled the recipe to can the extra. I have two Thanksgivings this year and only wanted to make it once. I prefer to make it on the stove top. I used one cup of sugar and substituted the other cup of sugar for a cup of honey. Simmered until the cranberries were popping and splitting. The key is not to stir it a lot. Sanitize four pint jars and hot water bath for 15 minutes. Easy peasy.
This was very easy to make and came out pretty well. It was more watery than I would have liked, so in the future I’d scale back on water.
What I liked about this recipe was the ease of preparation but it was too sweet for us. I will make it again this way but I’ll cut down the sugar and use orange juice in place of the water. Thanks for sharing your recipe sal!
I used splenda too and it is great. If you want to make it awesome, add a can of Ro-Tels and cook it down
This recipe is good, but can be made much better by adding a finely chopped orange – peel and all. It thickens quickly when it simmers on the stove. I have a diabetic husband and use half sugar and half xylitol, or sometimes all xylitol.
I added some orange zest to the cranberry sauce and it tasted great. I think it was just a little bit too sweet.
Awesome! 😀
