Used this recipe to spruce up canned cranberries-YUM!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I was looking for a recipe to make a 12 oz can of cranberry sauce with whole berries a little more exciting. I modified this... recipe with great success: neither me nor my mother like cranberry sauce, but we both loved this dish. I just dumped the can of cranberry sauce into a small pot, added the fresh orange juice, omitted the sugar since the canned stuff has corn syrup in it, and added about 1/2 tsp of cinnamon (didn't have a cinnamon stick). I heated it through and then let it cool to room temperature. I'm a total convert now, and next year I'll try it with actual cranberries! Thanks, Tyler!Read more

Easy but not exciting
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

This recipe was a good basic start on cranberries. Next year I'm going to play with it some more. Add a few other fruits or... spices to make it more interesting. Definitely an easy one though.Read more

as promised
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This was very good. I used a 12oz. bag of cranberries, got rid of the pale looking ones, added the juice and about 3/4 c.... sugar and the orange zest with the cinnamon stick. Twenty minutes later, I had a very delicious (not too tart) cranberry sauce. Even my picky son ate it! This was the easiest part of Thanksgiving!Read more

This is a wonderful recipe. I don't normally like cranberry sauce, but I will eat it this year. I did add a few shavings of... fresh ginger though, mostly because I like the smell. Thank you Tyler Florence.Read more
