Last Minute Cranberry Sauce

3 Comments

Jump to Recipe - Print Recipe

This cranberry and orange sauce comes together in less than 20 minutes. You practically just toss it together and it tastes like a fresh, spicy preserve. Perfect for turkey, chicken or just to eat off the spoon!

This is a quick cranberry sauce that comes together in less than 20 minutes. Fresh cranberries simmer in an orange juice reduction with a bit of sugar and cinnamon for a tart yet sweet sauce. Too simple and too perfect. The cranberries pop in the saucepan as they break down quickly to a thick, chunky sauce. I had to share it and you have  just enough time to make it!

    Delicious! I will never buy canned sauce again. This was SO easy and SO tasty! Get ready for compliments when you make this simple dish. I used frozen cranberries that needed to be used.

    At Sunday dinner, my 70 year old father said this was “just like mom used to make”. It doesn’t get any better than that! Thanks Sally this was wonderful.
