    So good! What an improvement over the standard can. I made some substitutions out of necessity (my bag of cranberries was only 12 oz, I only had cran-pomegranate juice, and I ran out of honey and ended up with a little over 1/2 a cup... apparently I wasn't very well prepared! Last but not least I also added some fresh orange zest. Anyway, it had great flavor and was so much fun. I molded this in some small silicon baking cups shaped like flowers and everyone raved!

    I have made this cranberry sauce for two consecutive Thanksgiving meals and it always is a big hit. Even my Son and Daughter eat it and they never used to touch the canned cranberry sauce!

    Absolutely wonderful. I didn't think any recipe could top my old stand by, cranberry sauce, but loved the flavor and texture. Made a second batch and added minced, crystalized ginger. A great recipe even better!

    delicious! and a hint to all you vegans out there who don't want to use honey, agave nectar works perfectly too. it definitely doesn't take 15 minutes to cook the cranberries, more like 10.

    I usually just put cranberry sauce on the table for others and for color. But this year I decided to make Alton's Fresh Cranberry Cosmo and had purchased too many cranberries. Good thing! This sauce is fabulous and I do NOT like cranberry sauce. Instead of molding, I put it in individual creme brulee cups so everyone would have their own. The honey and 100% cranberry juice were a tad expensive, but well worth it.

    This is my most favorite cranberry sauce recipe. The flavor of the cranberry and orange really comes through. The sauce has the right tartness and flavor depth to perfectly complement turkey and stuffing. Use a high quality honey, but if you put too much in, the flavor balance will not be right. If you like things sweet and syrupy, you will not like this recipe.

    Very good. Use a high quality honey that you like. I also added a little orange zest to my cranberries since I had the fresh orange on hand. For the center, I used whipped cream cheese, mixed with whipped cream, and sweetened with powdered sugar. I mixed in chopped walnuts with the cream cheese mixture, then piled in the center of the mold. The whole thing was very well received at my Thanksgiving table. To my dismay, nothing was left over. Next time, I will make two.

    I'm not a huge fan of cranberry sauce but my family is and I was hosting Thanksgiving so I made it. Followed the recipe exactly and it turned out perfect. I used a rubber mold to let it set in which made it much easier to pop out without flaws. My dad, who is the lover of cranberry sauce, LOVED it! Very simple and easy to follow directions helped since I am an amateur cook.
