Tips:

  • Choose the right ingredients: Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Look for cranberries that are plump and deep red, and oranges that are heavy for their size.
  • Prepare the cranberries and oranges properly: Rinse the cranberries and oranges thoroughly before using. Cut the oranges into thin slices, and cut the cranberries in half if they are large.
  • Don't overcook the cranberries: Cranberries should be cooked until they are softened but still hold their shape. Overcooking will make them mushy.
  • Let the sauce cool before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Serve the sauce warm or at room temperature: Cranberry-orange sauce is delicious served warm over turkey, chicken, or ham. It can also be served at room temperature as a condiment for pancakes, waffles, or yogurt.
