Cranberry Sauce with Orange Juice image

The warmth of the ginger and cloves and the brightness of the orange zest come together to make this a family favorite! You can use frozen cranberries if you can't find fresh--just simmer a few minutes longer. Make this ahead of time, and save yourself some stress on the big day!

Time 30m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

¾ cup water
¾ cup brown sugar
¼ cup freshly squeezed orange juice
1 cinnamon stick
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1 teaspoon grated orange zest
⅛ teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon ground cloves
⅛ teaspoon ground allspice
1 (12 ounce) bag fresh cranberries

Steps:

  • Combine water, sugar, orange juice, cinnamon stick, ginger, orange zest, salt, cloves, and allspice in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until sugar is dissolved, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Stir cranberries into the sugar mixture in the saucepan and return to a boil over medium heat. Cook until cranberries start to burst and mixture thickens slightly, 8 to 10 minutes; sauce will thicken further upon cooling.
  • Transfer cranberry sauce to a bowl; remove and discard cinnamon stick. Store in the refrigerator; for best flavor, bring to room temperature before serving.

This was a great recipe! The sauce was thick and flavorful, and the orange juice gave it a nice citrusy flavor. I served it with roasted turkey and mashed potatoes, and it was a perfect addition to the meal.

I made this cranberry sauce for Thanksgiving and it was a hit! It was so easy to make and it tasted amazing. The orange juice added a nice sweetness and tanginess to the sauce. I will definitely be making this again.
