Spiced Cranberry Sauce

Delicious! I used strawberry organe banana juice (bc that's what was in the fridge). Substituted 1 tsp of ground cinnamon for the sticks. Perfect blend of sweet and spice. Easiest recipe ever! Thanks for sharing!

I've made this a few time now and it always turns out great! I've made it using orange juice and water and both are good. Great recipe!

I made this for Thanksgiving 2009 and got more compliments on it than, I think, anything else I've ever made. In turn, I was required to bring it for the Christmas meal as well. I love cranberry sauce and this was the best I've ever had. Thanks for sharing!!!

Absolutely the best cranberry sauce ever!!! I am usually a traditionalist when it comes to Christmas....but this year...I decided to leap outside the box. And I am so very glad I did. I will not make the usual again. Just love the orange juice/cinnamon flavour. Thank you for sharing this great recipe.

I have always loved the can-shaped cranberry sauce as a kid (I know...), but as my love of cooking has emerged, I decided to make cranberry sauce this year and chose this recipe. I added about 1 tsp. of orange zest, and I used 1/2 c of orange juice (from the zested orange) and 1/4 c water. The suggestion about the tea infuser worked wonderfully! I simmered the sauce for 20 minutes, just a few notches above the lowest simmer setting on my stovetop, in a glass pan. I made it the day before, and the flavors really intensified from it sitting overnight in the fridge. Everyone who tried it at the dinner we were invited to said it was very good. Thanks for a lovely recipe. :)

This is the best Cranberry sauce I've ever had. I made it with water instead of OJ. Absolutely lovely. Even people who usually dislike cranberry sauce enjoyed it. This is the recipe I use all the time now. Thank you for sharing!

I loved this sauce! I made it for Thanksgiving dinner and the flavor was amazing. The only thing I changed was that I used 1/3 cup water and 1/2 cup O.J. The O.J. was a great addition. Thanks also for the hint about using the tea diffuser, what a great idea. I'll be using this recipe from now on. Thanks GaylaJ!

We enjoyed this cranberry sauce. I only used 2 Tbs of the brown sugar, but I think it could have benefited with the addition of the 3rd Tbs. Oh yes, I really wish I had listened to the advise about the cloves. It took forever to scrounge around the pan locating those 6 itty bitty cloves.

The best Cranberry Sauce I've ever tried. I doubled the recipe and it worked out perfectly. I used half water and half orange juice and then ende up adding just a tad more honey to make it sweeter. Very yummy. And a cheese cloth does really help with the whole cloves.

This is the best cranberry sauce I have ever made... or eaten for that matter. I used all orange juice instead of water and cooked it for 12 minutes. The spices tasted wonderful. This got rave reviews from even those who don't normally like cranberry sauce. Thanks so much GaylaJ.

I also used orange juice instead of water as was suggested by other reviewers. It got very mixed reviews at Thanksgiving.

Not many of us eat cranberry sauce during the holidays, so I always feel free to try new recipes. Not any more. Everyone who tried it loved it. It will be my permanent recipe for cranberry sauce from now on. Thanks!!!

I cant wait to taste this in a few days! I made it last night for Saturday since we are doing Thanksgiving early. As I was making this my mouth watered!! So I has some warm with fresh hot bread...uuummmmmmmmmmmm yummy! I did dont have cinnamon sticks so I used ground, and I used cheese cloth for the cloves. This is my first try at this and I will definately make this again!! Thank you Gayla!! Update: My FIL and my Mother took the leftovers home both raved had great this was!!I had to agree. The only suggestion made was I a too heavy handed with the cinnamon but I loved so I will remember that in the future. The heavy handed was my miscalcuation because a made a double batch and using ground instead of sticks. Thanks again!!

This smells heavenly when it's cooking and tastes so good too. I also added orange juice and some zest to this rather than use water. The honey I used was quite strong in flavor so next time I will be sure to use a milder honey and perhaps a little less of it (just as a personal preference). Thank you Gayla for another wonderful recipe.

I had this at a friend's place on Saturday....and all I can say is WOW ! I will be making Christmas dinner this year for the family and this will be my cranberry sauce! It had sooooo much more flavour then traditional sauce. The spices just bring everything to life ! Thanks so much for this wonderful variation on an old stand-by recipe!
