Ray’s 5-Star Cranberry Sauce Recipe

Posted by lenleatherwood on

With Thanksgiving right around the corner, I thought you might be looking for a good cranberry sauce recipe. Well, if you are, then here it is. This is the best cranberry sauce you will EVER taste. The nice part is that it’s really simple, and it is better if you make it ahead so the flavors can meld. Oh, and there’s no refined sugar, just honey.

2 12 oz. packages cranberries
Equivalent volume chopped apples
Toss in a pan with 1/2 cup water
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup honey

Simmer until cranberries are soft.
Add more water if needed when cooking
Add a little more honey to taste

Keep an eye out when it’s simmering so it doesn’t burn.

Other than that, no more work is needed. Just refrigerate and enjoy on Thanksgiving Day.

Not only is this cranberry sauce delicious, but it also adds color to your holiday table. In addition, it will fill your house with a wonderfully delectable smell.

Please let me know if you try it.

Happy evening, folks. Talk tomorrow.

    This sounds lovely. The honey and apple are new to me as I’ve always added fresh orange juice, sugar and orange zest. Hmm. One for the files. 🙂
