If you’ve never made homemade cranberry sauce, when you decide to do so, you will be pleasantly surprised. Making homemade cranberry sauce from fresh cranberries is so easy, you’ll wonder why you never did it before. The flavor is sweet but tart and will make everything you serve with it taste so much better, because of it’s crisp rich flavor. My Fresh Homemade Cranberry Sauce is so flavorful and delicious, it will make any can sauce pale by comparison!
I used to think making cranberry sauce was a lot more complicated. Once I found out how easy it is to make, I couldn’t wait to try it. But the best part of this learning experience was the burst of rich delicious flavor in Fresh Homemade Cranberry Sauce! It’s sweet tart flavor just explodes in your mouth as you savor the flavor that only fresh cranberries can give you. As a side to turkey, it really is the best and will not disappoint you or your guests!
Fresh Homemade Cranberry Sauce
- 16 ounces fresh cranberries
- 1 cup raspberry acai juice from Trop 50 (or any fruit juice)
- 1 cup light brown sugar
Put all the above ingredients in a sauce pan and mix together with a spoon. Do not cover the sauce pan. Cook this mixture over a medium high heat for 15 to 20 minutes or until most of the liquid is reduced and the cranberry sauce is the desired consistency. You do not want to burn it, so stir occasionally while it is cooking. As it cooks, it will bubble and the cranberries will burst, letting their rich flavor blend into your cranberry sauce. When done, remove from the heat and let it cool down. Then serve with your meal. The cranberry sauce may be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to a week.
