Hi Kim in Walnut Creek! Today I made 4 pint jars I doubled the recipe using 24 ounces of cranberry's. I reduced it too much and it was a little thick otherwise the taste was excellent but the raisins were a little too overpowering for our taste no worries, next week I will make it again instead of raisins I will use currants and add more lemon juice & zest. I finished this Cranberry sauce off with 2 ounces of Grand Marnier next time I will add 4 ounces as my DH said, it needed more of a kick! Thanks for posting a Ina Garten recipe. I love her show and her books the Barefoot Contessa's recipes are a no fail every time! Update: Well we tried this cranberry sauce the other night on chicken and to our surprise the raisins and cranberries had married beautifully!

I am newly married and live in the San Francisco area. I'm an attorney and spend a lot of time at work, which makes me not a great cook, but I really like to do it when I get a chance. I like Receipezaar because when I have time to cook, I can read through reviews and pick a "tried and true" recipe. I have almost never tried a recipe from
