Great recipe! Here are my modifications: instead of 1 1/2 cup sugar (2 cups way too sweet, I use 1/2 cup pure maple syrup, 1/2 cup light brown sugar, and 1/2 cup sugar.

In place of 1/3 cup water, I use 1/3 cup ginger ale.

Spices: 1/4 tsp. cinnamon, 1/8 tsp. ground cloves, 1/8 tsp. ground ginger, and a sprinkle of ground nutmeg. I've also added a pinch of salt to enliven all the ingredients.

To the orange juices and zest I've added one half lemon juice and zest to brighten the sauce up and make it fresher.

The only other change, at the end, is a bit of pure vanilla.

Finally; this is the cranberry sauce I have been dreaming of! My husband hates cranberry sauce but loved this one.

This is by far the best recipe for cranberry sauce! It is SO easy to make and everyone always compliments me on it. I usually make it the night before and let it simmer on low heat for about 35-45 min, unlike the the 5-7 min the recipe suggests. Fabulous!!

So good! This is exactly what I was looking for. Not too sweet, nicely spiced.

Way too sweet. I really think there's a mistake with the portions in this recipe. I am throwing it out and buying new cranberries.

I'm trying to watch my sugar intake so I used half white sugar and half splenda splenda to taste. I'm already thinking of all those yummy turkey/cranberry/dressing sandwiches I'm gonna make.

I thought this was excellent cranberry sauce. I'm trying several recipes this year and this one is a runner up. I love that the recipe uses half brown sugar half white sugar instead of only using white sugar. You can taste the orange juice and zest. Very good. The spices are nice too, but I think took away from the overall cranberry flavor. (I decided to go with the recipe from The Pioneer Woman --Ree Drummond that uses 100% maple syrup as a sweetener, and no additional spices. But if you need a recipe for home made cranberry sauce, this one is also a good choice. I won't mind using it on my English muffins. It's still tasty!

Wow, this is extra special. Followed the directions, and got out my kitchen scale to make sure I had the right amount of cranberries. I used the juice and vest of a "cutie" mandarin orange, so it was very small. Just the right amount of orange flavor for me. I would cut down on the sugar next time. Otherwise, this is great! Thanks Alex!

I made 2 batches and modified the 2nd after making and tasting the 1st. I agree with everyone that says you must measure the cranberries to 1 pound (1+ bags of fresh cranberries. I made the 1st batch exactly per the recipe. We had enormous oranges (large grapefruit size and the zest and juice from the whole thing was entirely too much. The zest made the first batch a bit bitter, and the orange flavor was overwhelming. It was also a bit too sweet.

For the 2nd batch, we used only 1/2 cup sugar, 1 teaspoon orange zest, and 1/2 orange juice (about 1/8 cup. Perfection. Why anyone would buy cranberry sauce after tasting this is beyond me. Its super easy and absolutely delicious.

Great receipe

If you modify the ingredients you are not rating this, it really needs no modifications, however you MUST MEASURE using weight and you need TWO bags of cranberries not one, or you will end up with way too sweet
