You cranberry problems are over!

You are bound to find a new favorite recipe here.

I’ve whipped up 6 brand new flavor combinations, they are all DELICIOUS.

I had many taste testers and they agreed they were all delicious, some chose one or two above the others, all in all they said it was fun to have a brand new homemade cranberry sauce recipe that they hadn’t ever considered before.

I think I went cranberry crazy… just a little bit.

I went shopping and piled the cart high with bags of cranberries.

My husband asked it we had a bog or something? No need to put on any waiters, just pick up some bags of cranberries and get started on at least ONE of these recipes. (*I have more cranberry recipes coming up this week on my blog, so start stocking up, or get a bog…just kidding!)

The best part is, you can make the cranberry sauce ahead of time, no need to wait until the last minute.

If you like your cranberry sauce “saucier” add 1/4 cup more liquid, if you prefer it really thick, simmer it a minute or two longer.

If you would like the cranberry sauce to be SMOOTH, press it through a fine sieve or mesh strainer with the back of a spoon, discarding the outer coating of the berries.

These recipes are not overly sweet. If you prefer your cranberry sauce on the sweet side add an additional 1/4 cup sugar. If you add it at the end of the cooking time, allow the sugar to melt and stir well so it dissolves.

Cranberry sauce will keep well for over a week (or two) in the fridge. Make sure it’s in an airtight container. I prefer glass jars, they seal great and I just love seeing what’s in the fridge so they make it easy.

Each recipe can be cut it half to make a small batch, or doubled for a larger portion.
