After making this recipe several times, I simply don't understand why anyone wouldn't make their own sauce. So easy to make and so much better than store bought. I have made it exactly like the recipe which is great and I've modified the percentages of orange juice/water and brown/white sugar which gives it a little different flavors. I've also added a pinch of cinnamon and orange zest. Whatever I've tried has come out delicious. Give it a try.

A delightfully delicious recipe! My first time making cranberry sauce, and this recipe was a hit! It was so easy that the sauce pretty much made itself! All I had to do was turn on the heat and throw everything in the pot!

I loved this. I followed some of the suggestions and used 1/2 cup white sugar, 1/2 cup brown, 1/2 cup water, 1/2 orange juice. I also added a smidge of cinnamon. I made this right after I popped the Turkey in, let it set up in the fridge, and it was the perfect consistancy in 4 hours.

I never liked the canned stuff so I thought I'd try making it home made this year. This is awesome! I cooked it for a little longer than 10 minutes to be sure that all the berries popped. It thickened up nicely and everyone loved it.

This is the best cranberry sauce I've ever tasted, and I'm normally not a fan of cranberry sauce! Definitely make sure your cranberries have "popped"/split open so the inside of the berry absorbs the sweet juice. If you don't wait long enough, your cranberries will be extremely tart!

This recipe was so good. I took it to a friend's house where we celebrated Thanksgiving, and everyone loved it. (I "somehow" forgot to mention to them how very easy it was to make) I didn't cook it long enough at first. The cranberries were popping, but I think I got nervous and took it off the stove too soon. After sitting a while it was watery and the cranberries didn't looked like they were cooked enough. So, I put it back on the stove and cooked it longer. The cranberries then got really soft and the sauce was red and vibrant, just how I had envisioned it! It was delicious!! This recipe will be a new Tanksgiving tradition!

It was okay. A little too runny. I would have liked it thicker. I refrigerated it for 8 hours, but still soupy. My guests didn't say much about it.

This recipe was great just the way it is, so simple, everyone raved about it, I did let it simmer a little longer than suggested and left it on the stove to cool down, I have an electric stove, I think it made it a little thicker, as the cranberries were soft, and broken down, the way I like them. Recommended highly.

I usually stay away from cranberry sauce. But I made this for my in laws, and it was a big hit! I even loved! What didnt get eaten with the turkey, the kids decided would be a great topping on vanilla ice cream! This is definately a keeper! I follwed the recipe as directed, but next time I think I will try putting in a cinnamon stick as suggested below.

I followed the recipe as written. I will now make changes. This just wasn't what I was hoping for. It didn't thicken that much....was still very tart....and I saw most of my guests scraping it off their plate. I was disappointed.

Very good! Even my mother-in-law agreed that it was better than the same recipe that she uses (with water instead of O.J.) My father-in-law really liked it as well. I normally don't like cranberries because of their tartness. I decided to make this recipe because I thought the O.J. would make it sweeter and tone down the tartness of the cranberries. It did and I was able to enjoy them!

I grew up with homemade whole-berry cranberry sauce at Thanksgiving, but my Mom always made it the traditional way with just cranberries, water and sugar. Replacing the water with orange juice makes a world of difference. It's tart and sweet all at the same time and is a great compliment to roast turkey and all the necessary accoutrements. I also added a little bit of orange zest, and I think that gave it a little more orange flavor.
