This is essentially the recipe I use. This is an authentic, traditional American Indian recipe for a sauce that is traditional to American Indian cuisine; I am Northern Cheyenne. You must use real maple syrup, not that cheap maple-flavoured corn syrup sold in supermarkets to be used on pancakes. Viktoria R. Medicine Elk

I followed the recipe but was disappointed. It probably is very good if you like sweet cranberry sauce, I like a little tartness to my cranberry sauce. My family did not like the sauce.

I cut the maple syrup down to a cup and still found it a bit sweet for me. But otherwise, the taste is delicious. Reminds me of craisins - only jellied.

This got rave reviews at Thanksgiving dinner! I had never made cranberry sauce before, and was shocked to see how easy it was. I picked this recipe because it looked unique and sweet, and it was both. The maple didn't overpower the sauce, and I thought it was the perfect balance of tart and sweet. And the maple gave it a really unique undertone. I thought this was great, and plan to make it often for holiday meals. I suggest though, using a higher quality syrup. I have made it with 3 different kinds of syrup, and the better the syrup quality, the better the sauce has turned out. Cheap syrup doesn't do it justice.

Everyone loved this! People who said they don't like cranberry sauce ate this up! I found it a bit sweet at first taste but it really did grow on me. Next time I would crush up the cranberries a bit more well they are cooking so they are not whole.

Absolutely wonderful! This is now a family tradition and is asked for every time! Even those that thought they didn't like cranberry sauce changed their minds once they tried this recipe. I use organic cranberries and organic maple syrup. Great recipe!
