Easy Homemade Cranberry Sauce
Homemade cranberry sauce that's perfect for the holidays.
Ingredients
- 12 oz Whole Fresh Cranberries
- 1/2 cup White Sugar
- 1/2 cup Light Brown Sugar
- 1 cup Orange Juice
- 1/8 tsp Cinnamon
- 1-2 tbsp Maple Syrup
Instructions
- Rinse cranberries and pick out any that are mushy.
- In a medium size sauce pan over medium heat dissolve the white and brown sugars in the orange juice.
- Stir in the cranberries and cook until the cranberries pop (approx 10 Min). The cranberries will foam but will go away as it cools. Slightly crush with a potato masher, fork, or spoon.
- Remove from heat and add the cinnamon and 1 tbsp of maple syrup. If it is too tart for you add another tablespoon until desired sweetness.
- Stir slowly to help the foam disappear. It may take a bit for that to happen but it will disappear. The sauce will thicken as it cools.
- Cool and store in a jar or container.
Notes
Fresh orange juice gives it a nice flavor but you can use bottled Orange juice to save time.
Can be made a few days before serving. Will last one week in the refrigerator.
You can also freeze the cranberry sauce for several months and it will still taste fresh and delicious.
