For our family Thanksgivings we switch it up every year and never serve the same thing.
Except one special dish: Mama’s Holiday Cranberry Sauce. We all love to cook and every year we want to try and share new recipes but this cranberry sauce is always the same and always a hit.
Sometimes she changes it up slightly by adding orange slices or orange zest or substituting brown sugar for white sugar but seriously y’all- you just can’t go wrong with a classic!
Mama's Holiday Cranberry Sauce
Ingredients
- 12 oz bag of fresh cranberries
- 1 cup sugar {can substitute brown sugar}
- 1/2 cup orange juice
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- In a small saucepan over medium high heat add orange juice, water, and sugar.
- Stir and bring to a boil
- Add cranberries & cinnamon.
- Reduce heat to medium low and simmer.
- Stir occasionally, until the cranberries break down and the sauce thickens. This takes about 30-45 minutes.
- Serve warm or room temp with Thanksgiving dinner and leftovers like my Thanksgiving Leftovers Pizza.
Notes
*My Mama likes to garnish with orange peel or zest.Â
