Reviews
Loved this sauce but next time I may add a little ginger.
Family loved it… chopped apricots a little larger, measured generously for apricots and raisins. Gelled more overnight, better the second day
This is a fantastic recipe! I made it just as is with no substitutions it was awesome!
Family favorite. Can taste all the flavors and not to sweet.
I love pecans with all this sweetness, so I added 1 cup. Delicious!
So easy to bake and so delicious. I added dried cranberries instead or apricots.
Our daughter in law makes this and we love it. Gonna miss them this year and making this will make us smile anyway. Happy Thanksgiving to Gunny Carol
I substituted clementines for the orange juice and zest, and I replaced some of the water for cooking with the apple cider I had on hand. Sorry to say I didn’t measure everything exactly. I had a 12 oz. bag of cranberries, so I may have used a little less sugar than what the recipe called for.
It is a good receipe. I used orange liqueur in place of orange juice. The taste was amazing.
The best! never liked the jelly sauce but this is a real treat. I use a little less sugar and add a couple cinnamon sticks in the cooking process and WOW.
This was absolutely awesome!!
Always easy and outstanding. This is our go-to for the holidays. I also add about two teaspoons of minced crystalized ginger when the mood strikes. Our grocery store sells pre-packaged bags of fresh cranberries that are 3 cups in size. If yours does the same, simply reduce the serving size of this recipe to 18. Use good quality orange juice to reduce the bitter taste. Love this – So good!
this is a Christmas menu must for us! Easy to make and so delicious! We give some away to friends and neighbors and keep another batch for ourselves.
This was very good and easy to make. Super tasty!
This is my third year using this recipe for my family’s Thanksgiving feast. I’ve reduced the sugar to 2/3 cup for a less sweet/more tart taste, but other than that it’s perfect! I wouldn’t think of showing up to my sister’s house on Thanksgiving without it!
Perfect combination of tart and sweet
Needs a bit more (brown) sugar and add some ground ginger for a bit of spice and it’s perfect
Exactly what I was looking for. Excellent with the Thanksgiving turkey. Makes for a nice “chutney” with pork and I LOVE it with ham !
Loved this! I’m always looking for something a bit different when it comes to “cranberry sauce” and this one filled the bill. It made enough that I was able to make a “cranberry chicken” dish with it as well. Use your imagination or maybe I’ll submit it here!!
Amazing recipe family loved it and actually took it home in plastic cups, lol
Absolutely delicious! Made it yesterday for Thanksgiving – might need to make another batch – can’t keep away from it!
