Becky's mom's recipe is so good that even anyone who says they do not like cranberries will love it! This sauce is fantastic. It should be made at least 2 weeks before use. However, I've made it the day before and it was still really good.

Tips:

  • Use fresh cranberries. Fresh cranberries are the best choice for making cranberry sauce, as they have a brighter flavor and more vibrant color than frozen or canned cranberries.
  • Wash the cranberries thoroughly before using. This will remove any dirt or debris that may be on the cranberries.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan. A heavy-bottomed saucepan will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the sauce from scorching.
  • Bring the cranberry mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the cranberries have burst and the sauce has thickened. Stir the sauce occasionally to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
  • Add sugar to taste. The amount of sugar you add will depend on your personal preference. If you like a tart sauce, you may want to add less sugar. If you like a sweeter sauce, you may want to add more sugar.
  • Remove the sauce from the heat and let it cool slightly before serving. The sauce will thicken as it cools.

Conclusion:

Cranberry sauce is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be enjoyed with a variety of dishes. It is a traditional Thanksgiving side dish, but it can also be enjoyed with other meals, such as roasted chicken, pork chops, or even ice cream. With its bright flavor and vibrant color, cranberry sauce is a surefire way to add a festive touch to your holiday table.
