Made this for Thanksgiving Dinner. . . Now, my fiance is telling everyone she's only marrying me for my cooking. . . I especially like the way the orange juice tames the tartness of the cranberries. . . I did add some cinnamon and my sugar was 1/2 white and 1/2 brown. . . . It was a hit. . . Thank you very much. . . .

Wonderful! I did as the reviewers suggested about splitting the orange juice and the water. The result was perfect!

I doubled this recipe to make PLENTY, and I did one package of cranberries, one package of strawberries instead of 2 packages cranberries. I also threw in a jalapeno. Everyone is going crazy over it!

Tasty. I used organic sugar and fresh squeezed OJ for one batch for a second batch with a little more flavor I added a pinch of cinnamon and allspice.

This is the first time I have ever made homemade cranberry sauce. but this by far is better than canned sauce. However once the sauce has cooled some pop some of the berries to give it a thicker sauce. Excellent!

YUMMY!!!!! I read several of the reviews and substituted half of the sugar with brown sugar. I'll have to try it just as written next time to see the difference. Thanks!

delicious! simple! i'm sure it's been said already but make sure you give yourself enough time for it too cool and thicken. or even make a day or two in advance.

I tried a practice run with Frozen Cranberries and it was runny and the cranberries didnt burst. Last night I used fresh cranberries and it was PERFECT. I followed the suggestion of 1/2 cup white sugar, 1/2 cup brown, 3/4 cup OJ and 1/4 cup Water. I added the cranberries after the sugars had dissolved on the stove; added a pinch of cinnamin and some orange zest. I brought it to a boil reduced heat to low and stirred it often until the cranberries had burst (about 12 min). I turned off the heat and let it set on the hot burner for 45 min. I put it in the fridge and this morning it was still the perfect consistancy. Cant wait for Thanksgiving!!

This is a wonderful basic version of cranberry sauce. Another option is to use Cran-Raspberry juice instead of the oj. Squeeze some fresh orange into it. And a splash of Blackberry brandy never hurts. Enjoy.

This recipe is great. I used other reviewers advice and did 1/2 brown sugar & 1/2 white sugar. It was so simple. I will keep this recipe in my arsenal of "excellent holiday recipes". Thanks for sharing.
