Homemade Cranberry Sauce is just too simple not to make at home.  Even if you grew up loving canned jellied cranberry sauce, try making it homemade!

  • Total Time: 10 minutes
  • Yield: 6 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 112 oz package fresh cranberries
  • 2/3 cup sugar (this is 1/3 less than the normal 1 cup)
  • 1/2 cup apple cider (or other fruit juice. Today I used pomegranate and it was delish!
  • 1 vanilla bean, split (and if you don’t have vanilla beans, use at least 3 tsp vanilla extract)

Instructions

  1. Combine the cranberries, sugar, juice, and split vanilla bean in a saucepan over medium-low heat.  Stir the ingredients together.
  2. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it bubble and simmer for about 10 minutes, until the cranberries begin to break down and the mixture thickens.
  3. Remove it from the heat and let it cool to thicken even more.
  4. Re-heat this to serve it or keep it in the fridge to cool until you’re ready to eat!
