This is a variation on classic, fresh Ocean Spray® cranberry sauce! My grandma has made it for years and people who don't like cranberry sauce request that I make this at our events! It's different and great! This is a nice change of pace. and I've yet to meet anyone who doesn't like it! Tastes best if stored in refrigerator overnight.

Tips:

  • Fresh Cranberries: Always go for fresh cranberries whenever possible. They're tarter and have a better flavor than frozen or canned ones.
  • Choosing the Right Sugar: Use a combination of granulated sugar and brown sugar for the perfect balance of sweetness and depth of flavor. If you prefer a tangier sauce, reduce the amount of sugar or use less sweet alternatives like honey or maple syrup.
  • Zest It Up: Add a teaspoon of citrus zest, such as orange or lemon, to brighten up the sauce and enhance its flavor.
  • Simmer Slowly: Simmer the sauce over low heat to prevent burning and allow the flavors to meld together. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking and to avoid sticking.
  • Don't Overcook: Keep an eye on the sauce and remove it from the heat as soon as it reaches a thick and syrupy consistency. Overcooking can result in a bitter taste and a loss of vibrant color.

Conclusion:

Homemade cranberry sauce is a delightful and versatile condiment that can elevate any holiday meal or special occasion.
