Even while making this well-known Scottish soup may take several hours, it just requires basic chopping and simmering. One of the best chicken soups in the entire globe! Add freshly chopped fresh chives and black pepper to taste.

Ingredients
- ¾ cup water
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup freshly squeezed orange juice
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 1 teaspoon grated orange zest
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon ground cloves
- ⅛ teaspoon ground allspice
- 1 (12 ounce) bag fresh cranberries
Instructions
- Combine water, brown sugar, orange juice, cinnamon stick, ginger, orange zest, salt, cloves, and allspice in a medium saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until sugar is dissolved, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Stir in cranberries and return to a boil over medium heat. Cook until cranberries start to burst and mixture thickens slightly, 8 to 10 minutes; sauce will thicken further upon cooling.
- Transfer cranberry sauce to a bowl; remove and discard cinnamon stick. Store in the refrigerator until serving.
- For the best flavor, bring cranberry sauce to room temperature before serving.

Wasn’t sure of the spice flavors but was the hit of Thanksgiving dinner! No changes to recipe.
This cranberry sauce is delish! I am making some as Christmas gifts for my friends and neighbors.
Made as written and it was amazing. I froze the left overs in small portions to use for other recipes. It was the best cranberry sauce I have ever eaten. Thank you for sharing.
Amazingly good! I prepared exactly as stated and it went over great at Christmas! Even my young children liked it, which is a feat.
Brilliant recipe. So easy and it tastes like Christmas Cake! It went well with Roast Chicken.
Came out great, easy and clear directions. I didn’t have allspice on hand so added a bit of pumpkin pie spice. Was delicious, will definitely use this recipe again.
I had a good feeling about this recipe and a large bag of cranberries, so I doubled the recipe. I am so glad I did, because this was the best cranberry sauce I have ever had! My original intention was to freeze leftovers, but I can’t stop eating it!
Nice and easy recipe to follow. Quick and delicious way to wait on the turkey and pumpkin pie. Directions don’t list all the ingredients, but it’s simple enough to figure out. I think this will be a hit (and definitely an improvement over canned)!
Wonderful smell and taste. Easy recipe as simple as can be.
Smells and tastes amazing. Brought this to work, huge hit!!
This is so good! Glad I made a double batch so there will be enough that I can enjoy it myself for the next few days and still have some for Thanksgiving in 4 days.
This is fantastic. It gets very thick and it’s even tastier the next day. It works well with sweet or savory dishes. I used it on a crostata as well as with meatballs. It was a delicious addition to my oatmeal, too. Thank you for the recipe.
