Making cranberry sauce for the first time is quite the experience!! Popping cranberries, jelling up faster than jello! This recipe was GREAT!! It set quickly, and I couldn't stop eating it!!

Why would one ever buy the canned stuff after having this? Wonderful taste! Thanks for this recipe.

Super easy! Some of the cranberries I had were a little too tart, so after cooking the cranberries I put them in the food processor. It came out almost exactly like the canned cranberry sauce without the tacky can lines.

We have some big cranberry eaters in our family. We've always used can. They loved it so much more like this! It was addictive. I made it on the stove instead of the microwave. I wasn't sure what to expect with "cranberry popping." They didn't make a popping sound, or a mess. They just gently and quietly fell apart. I put them in the blender to make a smoother consistency. This will be a holiday tradition for sure! Thanks for the recipe.

My family usually does the canned stuff and my mother actually will not eat fresh cranberry sauce, but I decided to go out on a limb this year, especially when I realized just how easy it is! I doubled the recipe and changed it a little: 1 package of cranberries (approx 1 pound); 2-3 spoonfuls of canned, crushed pineapples (in its juice, not heavy syrup); 1 1/4 cups of white sugar; 3/4 cup water; and 1/4 cup pineapple juice from the can. Boil the water, juice and sugar until the sugar melts, stirring constantly. Add the cranberries and pineapple and boil for 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Cranberries will have burst and turned soft and the syrup will turn dark red. It's sweet and tangy and everyone in my family loved it, including my mother. I like it chunky, but you can blend it for a smooth consistency. Chill overnight. Enjoy!

The first time I have ever had and made real cranberry sauce (not from the can). It was sooooo good!! And the recipe was super easy!! Thanks

Fabulous and really quick and easy to make. My Husband Loved it, even though he never liked cranberry sauce before!

A tad too sweet for me, but everyone loved it. I added a can of mandarin oranges and some walnuts.

I couldn't believe how tasty this was, and so simple to make. Everyone loved it! I will make it again for sure.

This turned out great! I made the recipe for 12 servings and added some orange zest, a tablespoon frozen orange juice concentrate, and a dash of cinnamon . After a quick whirl in the food processor, I poured the batch into a gelatin mold. Great flavors & consistency!

Great and very easy

The 1st time I did the microwave,my family didn't like it. The next time I made it on the stovetop(took a lot longer)then I put it in the blender till it was smooth, put it in the fridg. overnite, turned out just like in the can. Will make it again!

You can also add some kind of nut if you want. Chopped walnuts taste really good in cranberry sauce. It gives you something to chew on! Thanks for this recipe!

I made this for thanksgiving this year. I have two grown sons that couldn't get enough of it. It is so easy and a great change to canned cranberry sauce. I will also make it for Christmas.

I make this recipe every year for Thanksgiiving. So easy and delicious! I let it sit overnight in the fridge to make sure it sets a little. My family loves it so much and no one would guess how easy it is!

Yum! This cranberry sauce is *so* good and easy, we'll never go back to the can! I've made this recipe a few time & found a few changes that make it even better. First, I reduced the amount of sugar by 25% (I doubled the recipe & used 3/4 cup of sugar) and then the other change I made was boiling the berries on the stove top. It was just less messy than when I tried it in the microwave. All in all, this is a great recipe!

it's so easy and more flavorful than the canned stuff. i made this maybe half a week in advance and just kept it in my fridge. when the berries popped and i mashed them all with my spatula, i thought the cranberries were a little too bitter so i added maybe like a quarter cup of orange juice and it tasted so strongly of orange that i thought i had ruined it but after letting it cool and turn into slushy jelly in the fridge, it lost the orange flavor completely.
