Honey Maple Cranberry Sauce

November 6, 2012

I’m continuing with the Thanksgiving recipes this week. And like I promised last week, I will have some fresh new Thanksgiving recipes to share, as well as ways to use up those Thanksgiving leftovers.

 

Today I am sharing a recipe for homemade cranberry sauce. Now those of you who use a canned cranberry sauce, I have to take a few minutes to fuss at you! Please stop using that canned stuff!!! Making a homemade cranberry sauce is so incredibly easy. Like 10 minutes and only a few ingredients easy! And if even 10 minutes on Thanksgiving Day seems like a bit much this cranberry sauce can be made in advance and refrigerated.

The formula is simple, fresh or frozen cranberries, some form of sweetener (sugar, honey, maple syrup, agave nectar) and some water or juice. Simmer. Mash or blend (if you wanna) and the world is all good.

Well at least all good when it comes to a bold and beautiful homemade cranberry sauce adding the final touch to that Thanksgiving dinner spread!

    Homemade cranberry sauce is sooooooooo much better than the canned stuff. I never realized I actually liked cranberry sauce until I was a grown-up and made it myself. Your version looks delicious!

    Yes, homemade all the way! (but I'm weird and kind of like the canned kind too…the horror) My sister started making the cranberry sauce a few years ago so it's become her thing. 🙂
