    FABULOUS! Make it every year, and it never misses. Pass those canned cranberry sauces in the grocery store. This is EASY and fast, but oh-so-delicous. Go ahead, try it...you'll never go back to canned.

    I've been using this recipe for over 6 years. It's always a winner with just the right amount of sweet and tart. It pairs beautifully with turkey and fixin's and with any "regular" dinner (chicken, lamb etc..

    My first time making a cranberry compote, this was just the right citrus and sweetness and very easy to make. I made this for a cheesecake topping on one of Giada's cheesecake recipes and substituted this for a chocolate topping.
    It was delicious on the cheesecake & looked beautiful too.
    Changes I made were to use 12 ouces of fresh cranberries and 1 cup of sugar. If you like more cranberries than syrup you must use more as they disintegrate. I only cooked cranberries for a few minutes after bursting.
    This is excellent for use with a dessert or pairing with meat. Great Recipe!

    We'll never go back to canned Cranberries at holidays. Great leftover. Double the recipe.

    I made this dish for thanksgiving 2007. Everyone loved it. My 14 year old niece hates cranberries and liked this dish. My aunt and 9 year old cousin said they only like the canned cranberry jelly and liked this dish. I thought it was really yummy too! My brother's girlfriend noted that the leftover of it would taste good on any salad for which you would normally use a raspberry vinagarette--we tried it and agreed. One slight variation on the recipe that I did was to add about a tablespoon of citrus marmalade--was good and helped cut through the cranberries. Here are two tips: 1 recipe as is serves plenty (I mistakenly doubled up and 2 don't skimp on the cornstarch like I did--mine was a little runny.

    I'm not a fan of fresh cranberry sauce but this was excellent! I loved it on my turkey sandwich the day after Thanksgiving. So easy, I'll make this again for sure.

    The recipe has been corrected from what reviewers of previous years reviewed stated was not correct.

    I just made this and I have to say it is by far the best cranberry sauce recipe I have ever had. I could eat it all myself! Even my very finicky hubby tried it and said it was great and he doesn't like anything. My only disappointment was that it only made about 1 1/2 cups not 5. I made sure to write double the recipe for the next time I make it. It will definitely be served at all our Thanksgivings for many years to come. Thank You Emeril.
