Easy Orange Cranberry Sauce (3 Ingredients!)

orange

orange juice

maple syrup

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (176 C) and set out an 8 x 8-inch ceramic or glass baking dish (or other dish of a similar size // use a 9 x 13 pan if making a double batch).

To the baking dish, add cranberries, orange zest, orange juice, and maple syrup. Stir to combine.

Bake for ~45-50 minutes or until the cranberries are bubbly and tender. Then remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes.

Use a potato masher (or wooden spoon) to gently smash cranberries into a loose sauce. If you’d prefer it to be saucier, add a bit more orange juice at this time. Add more maple syrup to taste for a sweeter sauce. You could also transfer it to a food processor if you prefer it completely smooth.

Serve at room temperature (our preference), warmed, or chilled.

Leftovers keep covered in the refrigerator up to 1 week or in the freezer up to 1 month. Can be reheated in the microwave or in a 350 F (176 C) oven until warmed through.

OVEN (our preferred method)

Add all ingredients (cranberries, orange zest, orange juice, maple syrup) to a medium saucepan and stir to combine.

Bring to a gentle boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat and simmer (covered) for 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries are tender and most have burst open. Remove lid and continue simmering (uncovered), stirring occasionally and gently mashing with a wooden spoon, until the mixture has thickened and no whole cranberries remain — about 5-10 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool for a few minutes.

If you’d prefer it to be saucier, add a bit more orange juice at this time. Add more maple syrup to taste for a sweeter sauce. You could also transfer it to a food processor if you prefer it completely smooth.

Leftovers keep covered in the refrigerator up to 1 week or in the freezer up to 1 month. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator if frozen and reheat in the microwave, in a saucepan, or in a 350 F (176 C) oven until warmed through.

<em>This healthy cranberry sauce is naturally sweetened and made with only 4 ingredients! It’s perfectly sweet and tangy - great as a Thanksgiving side or holiday jam.</em>

Healthy Cranberry Sauce

vanilla extract

orange zest, cinnamon stick,

Add all ingredients to a medium pot and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer for 6-8 minutes. Stir the mixture frequently to ensure nothing burns or sticks to the pan. The filling is “done” once it has thickened and most of the cranberries have popped. 

Use a fork or potato masher to pop the remainder of the cranberries, if desired. Let cool completely before serving as desired; leftovers will keep in the fridge for up to one week.

This is so good! I added a finely chopped green apple because I thought it would taste good, and it did! Highly recommend

So good!! So easy! 10/10 would recommend making exactly as written! I’m going to have to make this year round! I used fresh cranberries and a carton of OJ from Trader Joe’s.

Santa Claus Christmas Cranberry Sauce - AlphaFoodie

Made with just 5 ingredients and in less than 30 minutes, this easy recipe for fresh cranberry sauce with orange juice will add the perfect zing to your Holiday meal, without being cloyingly sweet.

cranberries (or frozen)

orange zest (from l large navel orange)

maple syrup (see notes)

Place the fresh cranberries in a strainer and rinse well (skip if using frozen cranberries.) Wash, dry, and zest the orange using a Microplane.

Combine

In a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine 1 pound of cranberries, ½ cup of orange juice concentrate, 1 teaspoon orange zest, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and 2 tablespoons of maple syrup together.

Simmer

Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 20-30 minutes, stirring every couple of minutes, until the cranberries have begun to pop and burst open and the juices begin to thicken. Be sure to watch the sauce closely as it simmers, so that the sauce does not burn. If you notice too much liquid evaporating, add ¼ cup of water or orange juice as needed. And keep in mind that your sauce will thicken as it cools.

Serve

Cool to room temperature and then transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 12 hours before serving.

Yum! We love the citrus in this recipe. So delicious.

This sauce is so amazing and definitely going to make this again for thanksgiving! Yum!

When asked what your dad wanted to have for Thanksgiving his very first response was "Kristen's cranberry sauce"!

This sauce is fabulous! I was amazed at how much flavor it had and it just couldn't be any easier to make. Incredible!

Delicious - great recipe! My family absolutely loved it!

I added the extra maple syrup because my family doesn't like things really tart. The orange zest adds such a fresh flavor. So much tastier than the stuff from a can!

Happy Thanksgiving Kristen! First of all I wanted to thank you for the time you take to put together such wonderful recipes and ideas for us! I’m a single dad that has raised both my kids by myself for 90% of their lives. My son is 16 and daughter 13, so I have my battle lines drawn 😊 We make a great team and love to cook together; and have many of your recipes in our “rotation”. So thank you! Thank you for your little weekly email that always seems to come at the right time! 
Now as for this recipe, I know it’s a long shot to get a response from you soon, so hopefully I’ll have my answer for next time. I’m wondering if you have this recipe made for the Instant Pot? I’m sure I could wing it myself, but I wanted to see if you had anything. 
Hope you have a great holiday!
