Here is how to make your own Homemade Cranberry Sauce. Cranberries are a super food and should be in your diet year round. Cranberries outrank most other fruits and vegetables in Vitamin C and antioxidants. They are good for urinary tract infections, blood pressure, the progression of tumors and gum disease. There is only 45 calories in 1/2 cup of cranberries.
It is so easy to make your own cranberry sauce. We eat this all the time and not just during the holidays. It goes great with so many dishes. We love it with any kind of pork or chicken served as a side dish. This sauce keeps well in the refrigerator for at least a week. You can make it sweeter if you like but we like the tartness.
Homemade cranberry sauce ingredients needed:
Package cranberries or about 3 cups (can use frozen)
White granulated sugar
Brown sugar
Orange juice
Ground cinnamon
Try adding a drained 15 ounce can of mandarin oranges to this once in a while for an option. Super versatile dish, you can add any other fruit you may enjoy too. This cranberry sauce goes great with this Crock Pot Chicken and Gravy. This dish you can make in advance for any holiday gathering, which is always a plus.
