Maple Sweetened Orange Cranberry Sauce

Maple Sweetened Orange-Cranberry Sauce - An Oregon Cottage

★★★★★

5 from 1 reviews

SO easy and SO much better than canned, make this real food cranberry sauce sweetened with maple syrup and orange juice in about 10 minutes for your holiday meal – or any time you’re craving cranberry sauce!

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 bag cranberries (12 oz.), fresh or frozen
  • 1 c. unsweetened orange juice
  • 3/4 c.-1 c. pure maple syrup (I use 3/4 c. which makes a tart-sweet sauce – increase syrup to 1 c. if you’d like a sweeter sauce)
  • orange zest from 1 orange (about 1 Tb.)

Instructions

  1. Combine all the ingredients in a medium sized saucepan and bring to a boil.
  2. Lower heat to maintain a very soft boil and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. The berries will start to pop and the sauce thicken. Mash as desired while stirring (if you’d like a smoother sauce, use an immersion blender before storing the sauce and it will gel a bit like canned jellied sauce).
  3. Transfer sauce to a lidded container and store in the refrigerator for up to a week before serving (the sauce thickens even more as it cools).

Notes

Make Ahead: the sauce can be made up to a week ahead and stored in an airtight container in the fridge.

Did you grow up with canned sauce – or no sauce at all? Have you made cranberry sauce at home?

    I think I found this recipe in 2015. It was love at first read & taste! I love the fact that it uses maple syrup instead of white sugar. I always get rave reviews! Sometimes I add cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Delicious! Thank you for sharing it!

    You photos are beautiful! Thanks for all your wonderful healthy recipes!!
    We make homemade cranberries with 15 satsumas added to a bag of cranberries. Add less sugar but need to try your way. We are making a big batch today (X 5) and putting jars in the freezer just because we have ALOT of satsumas lying around! It freezes beautifully! Happy Thanksgiving!
