The Most Delicious Homemade Cranberry Sauce Recipe

There are just some flavors that completely enhance one another, and cranberry + turkey is one of them.  If you've never made homemade cranberry sauce before because you thought it was too difficult, I'm here to tell you to put that can down!  Making cranberry sauce at home is a breeze and no one will know that you didn't slave over a stove for hours making it!  Be fully prepared to wow your guests :)

I like to add a bit of orange flavor to my cranberries - it just gives it a nice little tang that is absolutely delicious.  And trust me when I say that this tastes SOOOOOOO much better than it's canned counterpart.  

Hope you enjoy!




Ingredients

1  12oz bag of cranberries, washed & patted dry
1  cup sugar or sugar substitutue {I used Z Sweet}
1  cup orange juice
2  cinnamon sticks
1  tsp grated orange zest


Directions

In a medium sized saucepan, combine orange juice & sugar.  Bring to a boil, and add in cranberries & cinnamon sticks.  Reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer for 15 minutes stirring occasionally.  

Once sauce has boiled down, remove from heat and discard cinnamon sticks.  Stir in orange zest and allow to cool to room temperature before serving.




Don't forget to use your leftover Thanksgiving mashed potatoes the next morning and make my Cheddar Cheese & Chive Potato Latke recipe - SO scrump!  xx
