Once you try this homemade, Fresh cranberry sauce with orange and cinnamonyou’ll be mad at how many Thanksgivings you went without it.
Compared to regular commercially available canned cranberry sauce, it simply pales in comparison.
The tartness of the berries is perfectly balanced by the sweetness of the sugar, complemented by the orange and cinnamon notes. It’s not too sweet though. If you like the texture and chewiness of whole berries in your sauce, remove from heat as soon as all the berries have popped.
For a smoother cranberry sauce, continue cooking a little longer than recommended. This is sure to be a staple on your Thanksgiving table for years to come.
