Cranberry Sauce Recipe
If you’ve never made cranberry sauce from scratch, now’s the perfect time to start. This simple and delicious cranberry sauce recipe will add the perfect touch to your holiday spread.
Ingredients
- 12 ounces fresh cranberries
- 3 tablespoons water
- 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice
- 6 ounces granulated sugar
I always use Kosher salt in my kitchen! If using table salt, start with half the amount and adjust to taste, as it is much "saltier" by volume.
Instructions
- Sort and rinse the cranberries. Combine the water, orange juice and sugar in a saucepan over medium heat and bring to a boil. Once boiling reduce the heat low and continue cooking for 5 minutes.
- Stir in the cranberries and cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Do not cook longer than 15 minutes.
- Cool for 5-10 minutes before transferring to the container that you want to store the cranberry sauce in. Refrigerate overnight before using. Enjoy!
Notes
Transfer the cranberry sauce to a wide mouth canning jar that has been lined with plastic wrap or parchment paper. Once the sauce has completely set up overnight you can pull the cranberry sauce out using the plastic wrap or parchment paper and slice the sauce.
Or just serve it from your container.
