Apple-Orange Cranberry Sauce

Cranberry sauce has always been part of the traditional Thanksgiving menu. In the 1960s, an uncooked sauce of coarsely ground cranberries and oranges became a national favorite. But since then, the original quickly cooked cranberry sauce has regained its popularity, with many variations such as this one with apple, orange and a hint of spice.

Holiday Side
December 26, 2012
I've made this recipe twice. The second time I used only 1 TBS of orange juice and 1/3 of an orange rind because it had a strong orangy taste. Terrific!
Pros: Easy, Will Make Again

Fantastic!
November 25, 2012
This is a fantastic recipe. I have been making a cherry cranberry sauce that I loved for years, but after trying this one, I won't go back. Everyone at Thanksgiving loved this recipe and asked for it again next year. My husband even loved it and he has never liked cranberry sauce before. I just made a second batch (it is very easy the second time) for left-overs because there wasn't any left over from Thanksgiving.
Pros: Quick, Easy, Appearance, Impressive, Will Make Again

Best Cranberry Sauce EVER!!!
November 25, 2012
Each Thanksgiving I make a different cranberry sauce. Sauces, chutney's, relish, compote, I've made a lot of them. This is THE BEST EVER sauce I've made. I made it first 2012 and I don't think I need to make a different sauce again. People rave about it. The first time my guest tried it at dinner, he groaned with goodness. I think it's a keeper, for sure.
Pros: Appearance, Impressive, Will Make Again

Thanksgiving Staple
November 23, 2012
I used this recipe for my first time making cranberry sauce. I found the orange rind to be overpowering so I left the orange out completely and replaced the orange juice with apple juice. It was a HUGE success during the holidays I will continue to use this recipe for many years to come!
Pros: Yield, Good Value, Easy

Tried and True
November 19, 2012
I don't normally write reviews, but have to attest to just how good this is. I have made this recipe for years, and it is always requested by relatives for Thanksgiving. As a matter of fact, I misplaced my recipe and just looked it up this morning so that I can make it today. A must have for our family's holiday table.

A New Family Tradition
December 23, 2011
I made this cranberry sauce for the first time several years ago, and now each holiday I have family members asking if I'll be making it again.
I have switched it up by using orange zest instead of orange peel, and just steaming it for a couple minutes. Quite a bit faster and still has the same yummy citrus taste.

Just a little extra
December 20, 2011
I would add a snif of nutmegg and substitute port wine for half of the water.
The alcohol will be gone as it boils, but the flavour remains.
This will make it a true five strar recipe!

Our new thanksgiving staple!
December 18, 2011
This was my very first time making fresh cranberry sauce and I found THE one! This is a keeper! The entire family raved about the cranberry sauce and I had multiple requests for the recipe. I followed the recipe exactly and wouldn't change a thing- besides doubling it next year!
Pros: Healthy, Will Make Again

Loved by everyone!!
November 26, 2011
This year was my first thanksgiving dinner at my home and everyone was shocked that i made this cranberry sauce from scratch! This recipe was very easy to make and tastes great! It would be a shame to buy canned cranberry when it's so easy to make fresh!

This Cranberry Sauce is Amazing!!!
November 23, 2011
We always have at least 3 or 4 Thanksgiving dinners at our house prior to Thanksgiving to perfect our recipes. This recipe has been a hit every time!! The orange rind is very fragrant so if you are using a very large orange I would definitely reduce the quantity. Great recipe!

I first had this cranberry sauce several years ago when my mother-in-law brought it to the first thanksgiving we hosted at our place when my husband and I were newly married. From the first time I tasted it, I knew it would become a tradition in our family and it has- year after year. The cranberry molds of years past have been far surpassed by this treasure. The perfect blend of sweet and tart and not too spiced. Try it. It will become a staple in your family, I assure you.
Pros: Yield, Kid-Friendly, Impressive, Will Make Again

Beautiful and Delicious
February 2, 2011
I made this for Thanksgiving last year and I was a little intimidated because not only was it my first time hosting Thanksgiving, but my first time making cranberry sauce and I wanted everything to be perfect. This cranberry sauce was! It was simple to make, looked beautiful on the table and tasted delicious! This is going to be the cranberry sauce I serve every year at Thanksgiving.
