Why would you buy canned?
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Made this today and was delightfully surprised at how good it is. I didn't have an orange so substituted blood orange juice... which worked fine and for the sugar I used half white and half brown. I will definately make this again. The simplicity and ease are second to none..Read more

Love IT !
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

We had a potluck Thanksgiving at work 2 years ago and someone brought in the best cranberry sauce I had ever tasted. I don't... use canned ever, so that wasn't a factor. This was extra special. Got the recipe, but didn't know it was Emeril's untill I searched on line for it as I had misplaced the recipe and was looking forward to having this again. Everyone loves it.... The port wine adds such a wonderful depth of flavor as someone else mentioned. I can't wait to make it again... It is definitely a tradition in our home! I made no changes and love it.Read more

Easy but delicious
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Wow... I made this sauce and good not believe the wonderful flavor that it had, a perfect blend of sweet and tangy. After... making this recipe for my family I was finally able to get them to stop buying the cranberry jelly in a can for Thanksgiving. Now that's something to be thankful for.Read more
