Spiked Cranberry Sauce

Updated: Nov 17, 2021



Cranberry sauce isn't a dish that I have to have for Thanksgiving dinner. I mean it isn't as important as mac and cheese, stuffing, and candied yams for instance but I do enjoy a bit with my turkey. If I do have it as a part of my Thanksgiving dinner, I would rather make it myself than purchase it in the grocery store. Cranberry sauce is very easy to make and it only takes about twenty minutes. Cranberries are a good source of vitamins (especially Vitamin C) and fiber. They're considered to be a superfood because of their antioxidant properties and nutritional value. This recipe includes Triple Sec but if you want to make it non-alcoholic you just need to add more orange juice. The great thing about homemade cranberry sauce is that you can make it up to a week before Thanksgiving and store in the fridge until turkey day. It can be one less thing to make actually make on Turkey Day!


Ingredients for Cranberry Sauce


12 oz bag of fresh cranberries

1 cup of white sugar

1/2 cup of brown sugar

1/4 cup of orange juice

1/4 cup Triple Sec


Directions to Make Cranberry Sauce


  1. Wash and sort the fresh cranberries. Remove all of the bruised ones.

  2. In a medium size saucepan, combine the cranberries, sugar, orange juice and Triple Se.

  3. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to simmer and cook until the cranberries pop.

  4. Stir in a pinch of cinnamon. You can also add a pinch of ground cloves and orange zest for extra flavor.

  5. Remove from the heat and place in a bowl to cool. The sauce will thicken as it cools.

  6. Store in the refrigerator until ready to use.

I honestly never knew making cranberry sauce was this easy, though I'm usually busy playing games like sailor piece codes new while waiting for the stove. This recipe sounds so much better than the canned stuff, especially with that Triple Sec kick! I'll definitely give this a try for my Thanksgiving dinner this year.
