Ingredients

1/2 pound fresh cranberries
1 tablespoon grated orange zest
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1/4 cup fresh orange juice
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 cups water
3 tablespoons cornstarch

Directions

Put the cranberries, orange and lemon zest, orange and lemon juice, sugar, vanilla, and 1 1/2 cups of the water in a medium-size nonreactive saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil and cook for 8 minutes.

Dissolve the cornstarch in the remaining 1/2 cup of water and add to the pan. Reduce the heat to medium, then stir constantly until the mixture thickens, about 2 minutes.

The BEST cranberry sauce!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This recipe is SO SO SIMPLE to make, and tastes even better!! I'm not a big fan of citrus in my cranberry sauce, but the... addition of the vanilla makes it so smooth and adds just the right complimentary flavor. This will be on my holiday table from now on!Read more

This was awful!!

I followed the recipe exactly. It was a starchy sauce with very few berries. It looked so much better on tv.

Free from the can
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I found this recipe a few years ago, and it seems that I am making more of it every year. Everyone I share it with loves it.... After trying this, I can't believe that I actually thought that canned jelly was actually good. Thank you Mr. Lagasse for saving me from the can.Read more

This is a very flavorful cranberry dish. We've been making this recipe for the past four holiday seasons. Once you break away... from the can you'll never return. :) Thank you Emeril!Read more

Excellent
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

My 10 year old son saw Emril make this on the Thanksgiving Meal show and wanted to make it as his contribution to... Thanksgiving dinner. He made it mostly by himself with a little help. Everyone loved it. Bye-bye canned cranberry sauce or jelly. This was so easy, so good, and so much better than canned.Read more
