Cranberry Sauce Recipe

Nothing beats a delicious batch of homemade Cranberry Sauce! This recipe has a winning combination of ingredients to bring out the best sweet and tart flavor from those cranberries! This recipe is a great way offset to the savory recipes at the holiday dinner table! The whole berries in this recipe create a very pleasant texture, you can’t beat it! (My secret ingredients?- A hint of cherry and lemon juice!) The cherry juice is optional, but oh so good!

How to Make It

See recipe card below this post for ingredient quantities and full instructions. Add the water, orange juice, sugar, honey, lemon juice, cherry juice (if using), cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir to combine. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the cranberries have burst.

Remove from heat and let it cool completely. It will continue to thicken upon standing.

Storage

Store in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 7 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
