Hold The Second Orange!
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

Don't zest both oranges! If you feel compelled to do so because the recipe calls for it, add a little bit at a time. Also,... it is a bit too sweet and tart for me...keep lemon juice on hand to balance the taste. The Neely's seem to have a better foundation recipe for cranberry sauce with a kick of orange.

Incredibly Simple
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I made as a contribution for my family's thanksgiving dinner this year, and it was a huge hit. I doubled the recipe, which... made so much that I wound up throwing a lot of it away. The sweetness is a little bit tricky, because it seems so tart when hot. After it cools, it will be slightly sweeter. But I increased the sugar anyway, because I still found it to be a bit too sour for my taste. In all, very nice.Read more

First time sauce maker
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I tried this recipe because I have family coming for Thanksgiving for the first time in years. I found it to be easy to... follow and super tasty. I have always loved cranberry sauce with my Thanksgiving dinner, but this takes it to a new level. Only thing I suggest is watch the sugar level...While it may be a little tart when you first taste it, the sugar comes out more as it cools!Read more
