Cranberry Sauce
Cranberry sauce is such a classic Thanksgiving dish. I almost feel silly posting this recipe, since it just came from the Ocean Spray website, but since we love it so much, I decided it was blog-worthy. This is the only recipe I make and it always gets rave reviews. And it’s so easy, there’s no excuse for eating cranberry sauce from a can.
You’ll notice that I took down all the pinkness from my blog today. I’ve also got some fall favorites on my side bar and brought back my header from August, so be sure to stop by if you’re reading through a reader to check it out!

You’re right- so easy there’s no reason not to try this! ha!
Love that this recipe is so simple and easy. A must have for Thanksgiving.
I LOVE homemade cranberry sauce! Tastes so good on the Thanksgiving Leftover Sandwich!
Delicious! Simple recipes need to be shared too…those are my favorite
This absolutely falls under the this-is-so-easy-and-so-much-better-why-would-I-ever-go-back-to-canned-version territory! I recently made turkey burgers with cranberry sauce dressing and used the canned kind – never again!
You’re so right…there is NOTHING better than homemade!
Wow, this sounds so easy and delicious! I’m cooking for the first time this year and can’t wait to make everything from scratch, which usually doesn’t happen when others in my family cook…
I’m jealous, I want this. I have to eat the stuff from a can because I’m allergic to cranberries and the stuff in a can is far away enough from real that I can get away with it. My grandma used to make cranberry relish which was amazing, but also broke me out into the most amazing hives.
I have never understood those that buy canned cranberries when they are so simple to make. Tastes way better than any can.
Thanks for your nice and simple cranberry sauce recipe.
