Fresh Cranberry Sauce With Mandarin Oranges

Submitted by Mermandrea

"This is the quintessential cranberry sauce from the Ocean Spray package to which I add a can of Mandarin oranges---(I use unsweetened, especially if you use sugar---don't want to completely drown out the tart berries!) I also substitute Splenda or other sweetener for sugar."

Used Sweet Additions Stevia instead of sugar and it was great! Quick easy recipe!

I made this for Thanksgiving this year and it was a hit. I was not able to find unsweetened mandarin oranges but the sweetened kind worked out and added just the right about of sweetness.
