Cranberry Orange Sauce - My New Cranberry Sauce Recipe

Fresh cranberries simmered in sugar, water, orange juice and orange zest until they burst. Making homemade cranberry sauce is simpler than you think. 
I made this Cranberry - Orange Sauce over the Thanksgiving holiday. I canned it up so it would travel well on the trip to my mother in laws house. When I make cranberry sauce I usually just make the regular recipe on the back of the cranberry bag, but this year I wanted to mix thing up a little different.

I loved the addition of the orange juice and orange rind. It smelled so good as it was cooking and the orange flavor really came though as it cooked. My husband likes the regular jellied cranberry sauce out of the can. Me, I like whole cranberry sauce. So I usually have to buy both around the holidays.

I made this recipe particularly because he loves orange flavoring so I thought he might like this. He told me that it tasted really good and the orange was a nice addition. This will more than likely be the new way I prepare my cranberry sauce. I really enjoyed it and so did everyone at Thanksgiving. I will be making this again for our Christmas Dinner.

These are the ingredients you will need: 1 bag fresh cranberries, fresh or concentrated orange juice, orange rind and granulated sugar.


Add all the ingredients to a saucepan and mix well.


Cook over medium heat and bring to a boil. 

Boil for 10 minutes until the cranberries pop and start to thicken (see below). 

In this video you can see the cranberries boil, pop and start to thicken. At this point the cranberry sauce is finished. 

I like my cranberries more whole then saucy. This was so yummy I had to put a bit aside to eat.

I tried this same recipe this year for the first time (minus the zest) and was really happy with it as well. I think I'll try that next time I make it. Thanks!

I started making my cranberry sauce this way a few years ago. It tastes so much better with the orange juice. I've even made this during the year and not only for Thanksgiving or Christmas. YUM!
