Homemade cranberry sauce couldn’t be easier to make and the ingredients are fresh and simple! Forget about the canned stuff that you can get at the grocery store and make this tasty cranberry sauce with orange juice. It’s wonderfully fresh tasting with the perfect balance of sweet and tart and is a great addition to your holiday table.

Aside from the traditional holiday meal, we love homemade cranberry sauce spread on turkey sandwiches, on the side with chicken or Swedish Meatballs, Turkey Meatballs or smeared on top of grilled chicken breasts just before taking them off of the grill.

Homemade Cranberry sauce is fresh and healthy!

Love your style! Your suggestions for mixing it up a bit are fantastic. I always prepare something family friendly and a more adult version with a more complex flavor profile. These certainly fit the bill. Thanks for sharing!
