    this cranberry sauce is perfect if you follow the recipe exactly. i know it sounds strange to add an entire orange including the peel, and crushed pinnapple but it works perfectly with the ingriedients. bobby flay is a genious and the recipe he provided is sensational. i love all the little bits of orange, as well as the savory flavor of the chopped walnuts. the aroma from the cloves is intoxicating and this dish presents all the flavors of the holidays in wonderful harmony. reading all these reviews it seems that people are really picky lol.

    This was easy and great taking with lots of texture.
    I used it as a side dish to accompany a pork roast.
    My guests just loved it and were impressed with my skills. :
    I put some of the leftover in my oatmeal the next morning. mmmmmmmmmm

    For dessert, I served Paula Deens' wonderful pound cake.

    I love cranberry sauce in general, but this takes it to a whole other level. My family loves it as well and because of it, we buy extra fresh cranberries during the holiday season and freeze them so we can have this sauce all year 'round. We make it exactly as it's written. It's the best cranberry sauce you'll ever eat and you will (and should NEVER buy it again. Enjoy!

    I made this cranberry sauce today and it is the best cranberry sauce I've ever tried. I knew that I wanted a recipe with orange zest, cinnamon and clove and found this recipe searching on those criteria. I did not use the whole orange - I used a small Seville orange. I zested the entire rind, and since Seville oranges don't have a lot of the solid part, I used the juice from the orange. I didn't have pineapple but would absolutely use it next time I make this recipe. I cut the ground clove back to 1/8 teaspoon and it was perfect. I used about 1/8 teaspoon of cinnamon - a bit more than the "sprinkle" the recipe called for, and again, it was perfect.

    The pineapple is what caught my eye when I was looking for a new recipe. I was working the night before, so there was no time to run to the store. The bag of cranberries was 11oz. I used 2 tangerines chopped whole and put in the food processor till very fine ( there was absolutely no bitterness, I only had chunk pinepapple, so I stuck that into the food processor. Pecans are sweeter than walnuts, which have a tendency to be bitter, which I also processed. I cooked the mixture for about 30 minutes to reduce the liguid and I could break the berries up. It was even better after a couple days dalloped on a turkey sandwich!! Will use this also with roast pork loin which should be fabulous.

    This was the first year that I made homeade cranberry sauce, my family usually pops open a can! This thanksgiving my sister and I did the entire meal and I wanted something fancier than can cranberry. Everyone loved it including those who do not like cranberry! I did zest my orange rather than use the entire peel because I have tasted others with the peel & it was too bitter for my liking. Also my husband is not a fan of cloves so I reduced that as well to a pinch. I am new to cooking and this was a simple and delicious recipie. I will definitely make it again for Christmas!

    I made this recipe without changing a thing. But the white part of the orange was too BITTER for me. So i changed it up a bit the second time. The second time around I used two oranges.I zested only one of them. But with both oranges, I threw all the white part and skin away. I basically sectioned each orange and cut them into small pieces. Kind of time consuming but well worth it. Your sauce will come out great without all that bitter after bite. To make up for
    the loss of the white part of the orange i just added a little OJ into pot. maybe about 1/4 cup or so. It came out GREAT!! You'll love it unless you don't mind the
    bitterness of the white part.

    Over all I loved it. Every year my family with just open up a can of cranberry sauce, but this year we wanted to do try something new. I changed it up alittle bit though. I didn't put in the clove and not the pineapple. I used the juice of two oranges and some zest. Also instead of the ground cinnamon I used a cinnamon stick. It was great!!!

    I don't even like cranberry sauce - I never eat it. But it's a must have at Thanksgiving, so I tried this recipe for my guests. I tasted it and loved it - super awesome! I will be eating cranberry sauce this year - this recipe is a keeper!! I kept the juice from the pineapple in, didn't add the cloves or ground cinnamon.

    The only thing I would do differently next time is zest then peel the orange and throw away the white part. Made it a bit too bitter, otherwise very good.
