orange cranberry sauce

Simple, flavorful cranberry sauce made in 1 dish with 3 simple ingredients! Perfectly tart-sweet, naturally sweetened with maple syrup, and incredibly easy to make!

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.

Cranberry Orange Sauce Recipe

honey (or add to taste)

water

orange juice (freshly squeezed from 1 large orange)

In a medium saucepan, combine 2/3 cup honey, 1/4 cup water, 1/4 cup orange juice, 1 tsp orange zest and 1 cinnamon stick. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring to dissolve honey.

Add 12 oz cranberries and bring to a boil. Once boiling, adjust heat to keep at a low boil and cook 10 minutes uncovered, stirring occasionally. Cranberries will burst and sauce will begin to thicken. A minute or so before turning off the heat, taste for sweetness and add more honey to taste for a sweeter sauce. Keep in mind the sauce will thicken when it cools.

Remove from heat, discard cinnamon stick and cool cranberry sauce to room temperature then refrigerate until ready to serve.

An upscale alternative to canned, homemade Cranberry Sauce has less sugar and a hint of citrus.  With or without liqueur.

Cranberry Sauce with Orange Liqueur

cranberries (12 oz)

orange juice (freshly squeezed if possible)

white sugar

Tbsp orange liqueur

Add cranberries and orange juice to a pot on the stovetop. Cover and bring to a very low simmer for about 10 minutes until cranberries start softening.

Add sugar and continue to cook over very low heat. Remove lid when sauce starts to thicken and stir frequently to prevent boiling over. When cranberries have mostly all popped and sauce is very thick, about 10 minutes, remove from heat.

Stir in liqueur.

Cranberry Sauce will keep in refrigerator for 3-4 days and freezes well.

This beautiful cranberry sauce with bright zesty pop of flavor has pure cranberry flavor with just enough sweetness to balance the tartness.

Orange Cranberry Sauce

(12 ounces) bag cranberries (washed Note 1)

water (Note 2)

sugar

orange zest

table salt

orange liquor (such as Grand Marnier)

In a medium saucepan, combine cranberries, water, sugar, orange zest, cinnamon stick and salt.

Simmer the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes. The sauce should be slightly thickened, but still runny. It’ll thicken more as it cools.

Remove from heat and discard cinnamon stick.

Stir in orange liqueur.

Cool completely and serve.

Stovetop method:

To make it in Instant Pot: Put all the ingredients, except for orange liquor, in inner pot of Instant Pot. (Note: only add ½ cup of water.)

Set the Instant Pot to Manual/Pressure Cook for 1 minute on High. (It took about 8 minutes for my IP to come to pressure.)

Once the time is up, allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes, which means you don't need to do anything. Then carefully turn the valve to venting. Once the pin drops, carefully open the lid.

Hit "cancel" button, and then select "sauté" function. Stir in orange liqueur and cook the sauce for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until thickened. Transfer into a jar and cool completely.

Instant Pot method:

I just love cranberry sauce--all year long.  This year my Insta Pot made it so fuss free.  To one bag of cranberries I add a half cup of sweet red wine and whatever orange juice is called for.   No water.  I use brown sugar instead of white.  I ladle it into small refrigerator containers.  I keeps very well for a year in my refrigerator.
