This is a good recipe, I used 1 cup orange juice instead of water and I added about 1 tsp of cinnamon, I really liked it!

WONFERFUL...i cooked it a little longer so it would be thicker- there was none left at the end of the meal. I am making it again for Christmas

I gotta admit to being skeptical since I don't like canned cranberry sauce. Neither does my sister in law, but we both loved this stuff. It was so easy to make and I will make it every year during the holidays. The only thing is that it is a bit runny. I think it would be great spread for a left over turkey sandwich too.

I've made this a few years in a row now, and it always works out well. I normally use splenda for baking instead of sugar and add cinammon, nutmeg, and ginger. Works well as a side, heating & served over french toast, or even as a spread in a sandwich. Thanks Michelle!

Very good and so simple. I used orange juice instead of water, added a little extra brown sugar, and blended the lumps out for the kids. I think it would taste good as a frozen treat too.

This is as good as any homemade cranberry recipe I have tried! I added 1 Tsp orange zest, but cut back on the water (1st time I made it was too thin.) The mixture of sugars does really well. Usually a little bit of cranberry sauce goes a long way, but this year there were no leftovers! Wow.

The recipe was incredibly easy to make! It was a bit on the tart side for my liking, but with a bit more sugar it would probably be perfect.

This was the first time in 8 years that I had to cook my own Thanksgiving dinner and my husband insisted on home made cranberry sauce. His particular palette was very pleased with this recipe. I doubled the recipe and as others have done - substituted orange juice for part of the water. I cooked it for at least 15 minutes until it reached a desired thickness. Also had to add an additional 1/2 cup of sugar (1/4 cup for single recipe) to get it slightly sweet. We loved it and will continue using this recipe.

I made 2 batches because my first batch didn't thicken enough. I substituted 1/2 cup orange juice for the water, but only used 1/2 cup of water in the second batch. It thickened up nicely. I salvaged the other batch by reboiling it the next day so it wasn't so runny.
