Using fresh cranberries! Learn how to make this Thanksgiving staple! This recipe is stupid simple (did I say that already? 😉 ) and better than the canned gel stuff you get in a can at Thanksgiving. Something I noticed, none of the recipes out there that I saw said to skim the foam…I did and it really helped to get the bitter bite out of the cranberries. I tasted the foam out of curiosity and it was disgusting. SKIM your sauce!!

What you’ll need:
1 (12oz) pkg fresh cranberries
1 cup orange juice
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar

In a large colander, rinse the cranberries well and pick out any berries that are damaged or broken. Place drained cranberries into a large sauce pan. Add orange juice and sugars and heat on high until just to a boil, stirring often. When boiling, turn heat down to medium and cook 10 minutes, stirring often to prevent sticking and burning of sugars. Let cool in the saucepan and transfer to a bowl to serve or refrigerate. Makes 2-1/2 cups of sauce. Enjoy!

  1. So confused after watching this. Coming here after the strawberry jam video and he never said to skim off the foam?!?!

  2. Hi will you use the same recipe for strawberry sauce? I have made your strawberry jam a few times and i love it… SO now i need strawberry sauce for a baked cheese cake… do you suggest i used the strawberry jam recipe and just dont leave it on as long as making jam or do i use this recipe with strawberries?

  3. Have made this recipe for a couple of years, and will be doing it again this year! Love it, thank you! Merry Christmas 😊

  4. I doubled the amount of cranberries and orange juice but kept the proportions of sugar the same as in the recipe so it wouldn't be as sweet and it turned out amazing! Thanks for the simple recipe!

  5. Awesome recipe, I have also made this for years now. When I think of cranberry sauce this is what I imagine.

  6. At first when I made it I used orange juice like the recipe calls for. But I rather use water, white sugar and cranberries. To me it has a better flavor because it has a pure cranberry flavor.

  7. Thank you for sharing this video. I have made a very successful, natural and tasty cranberry sauce😋👍
