How To Make Spiced Cranberry Sauce
Combine all ingredients in a large saucepan and mix well.
Over medium heat, stirring frequently, bring the orange juice to boil. The cranberries would start to pop at this point too.
Turn down the heat to medium-low and let it simmer for 15 minutes, stir frequently.
You are done when almost all the cranberries have popped, the sauce is thick and is gorgeous red in color.
Cool in the fridge until you’re ready to serve.

Things to know

- It is perfect for making ahead for a big Thanksgiving dinner.
I love this recipe for Spiced Cranberry Sauce because it’s something I can make in advance for our Thanksgiving meal. It seems there are so many recipes that I need to make the day before, or the day of, that I run out of time and don’t get to cook all the recipes I’d like to. This stores so nicely in the fridge, that I make it a few days in advance, and then stick it in an air-tight container until Thanksgiving day. Do you make your own cranberry sauce, or do you buy canned? Try this recipe this year and mix things up a bit!
