Because we don't all like cranberry chunks in our sauce, I put it all thru the blender after it cooled a bit. Makes the best cranberry sauce I ever tasted. I put it on my turkey instead of gravy. Superb. Probably will try on pork and chicken. Just wish I had some more fresh cranberries to make more. -
Delicious and easy! I think my berries were extra-tart because I added some brown sugar to compensate.

Thank you for this recipe! My friend made it, and I loved it! <br/>I then made it myself, with some additions: Besides juicing the two oranges, I also slightly grated some peel from them and pulled out some of the pulp from the juicing. I also cut up one more orange, trying to remove the membrane as much as possible and mixed that with the pulp I had and about 1/2 cup of drained, pressed crushed pineapple. Added about 2 TBL grated peel to the berries to begin cooking them, then as the mixture boiled, I added the orange and pineapple pulp. <br/>I boiled it LONGER, until almost all the berries were "popped", then smashed the ones left with my stirring spoon. (Another hint I read: You can't boil cranberry sauce too long. I took this one to heart, and loved the results.) This jelled like a champ! And was delicious, too! -
Glad to see this posted! I have always made my cranberry sauce with substituting orange juice for the water. It adds so much flavor to the standard package recipe. I use 3 oranges to yield a cup of juice. In addition I add the zest of one orange. I like my cranberries tart so I cut back the sugar to 3/4 cup. I've never added any spices but will have to give it a try. Thanks! -
Made this at Thanksgiving and it was requested again for Christmas. This time I am cutting down on the cinnamon a little. I also added the zest of one of the oranges. We really love it.

I am an American married to a Belgian, and have lived in Belgium since December 1999. Cooking is my major hobby. I'm also an avid reader, but I have difficulty finding the time. I love to travel. Since moving to Europe I've been lucky enough to have had the opportunity to go a couple of times per year to Paris, as well as having visited London, Rome, Florence, Naples, Amsterdam, and of course Brussels and Antwerp. I've seen at least parts of most regions of France, as well as parts of Germany, Austria, a great deal of Switzerland, Slovenia, Croatia, Luxembourg, and Monaco. I'm absolutely in love with the Bay of Naples and Sorrento coast areas of Italy, which my husband and I recently re-visited on a trip that included Rome, Puglia, Umbria and Marche. I'm still looking forward to Ireland, Spain, Portugal, the Czech Republic . . . the list is too long ! One of the bonuses of travel is getting to taste the local cuisine, and afterward trying to figure out how to duplicate it at home.
I think cooking is one of the nicest things a person can do for someone they love (including themself!)
I had to submit a picture with me and my cat, Sophie, as she insists on sitting in my lap when I'm sitting at the computer. If you are wondering what all that stuff hanging on the wall behind us in the photo is, it is just a small part of my husband's military medal collection. He was appalled by my posting this picture-- Our study is the messiest room in our house (thank god!)
