If you’ve never made homemade cranberry sauce because you thought it was too complicated to make, I am going to show you just how easy it is. Not only is this recipe easy, it is amazing! I love this sauce because it is not overly sweet and the combination of cranberry and orange give it a nice tang. The color of the sauce itself is so vibrant compared to its canned counterpart -one cannot even put them in the same category.
Trust me after you try this sauce, you will never ever buy canned again. Be prepared when friends and family “Ooooh and Awwww” over the mere fact you made homemade cranberry sauce. They will call you “Martha” and hate you for it. But that’s okay.. you’re secret is safe with me – I won’t tell how you didn’t slave over making this. In all honesty, if the world only knew how flippin’ easy this was.. no one would ever buy canned again! Do yourself a favor and leave that good-for-nothing sauce in the can on the grocery store shelf and for this Thanksgiving make your own homemade cranberry sauce. And for those of you who are wondering if you can make this in advance – YES!!! Just heat before serving. Enjoy!

My Italian grandmother would add oranges and amaretto . The alcohol cooks off and leaves an amazing flavor.
Amaretto sounds amazing! Thanks for sharing Debbie!
How much Amaretto do you use? I am always looking to add alcohol into any recipe
Hi Steve,
I like using a tablespoon or two.
This was simple and delicious, made exactly as written (with the rum). Just the right amount of sweet and tang. Yummy! Thank you for the great recipe.

Hey – I was trying to “like” this on Facebook, but when I hit the icon I just get a blank pop-up.
Ugh- ignore me. The FB icon does give you a blank page, but the “Like” button above it works just fine….. *sigh*
Beautiful site, thanks!
Hi, all. I have been making my own Cranberry Sauce for years now as I have always hated that canned glop! Yuck! I laugh because my relatives think I am amazing, they have no clue as to how riduculously easy this is. I usually add diced apple to mine, but I’m thinking this year I’ll make it plain. You confirmed my thoughts. Have a great season all.
