Gourmet Cranberry Sauce Recipe

Cranberry sauce is a great side dish to throw in the crock pot on Thanksgiving morning. This gourmet cranberry sauce tastes amazing and will be the perfect side this holiday season.

As it turns out, I'm not a huge snob when it comes to cranberry sauce. I like homemade just as much as I like the jellied version in a can. They both have room in my life, and I'm not afraid to admit that. When we made Thanksgiving dinner in 2013, we made this gourmet cranberry sauce recipe in the slow cooker though, and it was amazing. It is the perfect set it and forget it side for Thanksgiving dinner that you can put together with little effort. 

How to this Make Gourmet Cranberry Sauce Recipe?

This recipe is super easy to make and takes very little prep work. Simply combine your sugar, orange juice, cinnamon, water, and sugar together in the crock pot with your cranberries. Set your crock pot on high for three hours, coming back to stir it every hour. You can serve it hot or cold, but I prefer chilling before serving. 

What do you need to make Cranberry Sauce?

To make this cranberry sauce recipe you will need white sugar, brown sugar, water, orange juice, cinnamon, and 12oz of fresh cranberries. 

Can you make Cranberry Sauce ahead of time?

Yes, in fact I would recommend it! I personally think cranberry sauce tastes better when served cold instead of hot. You can make this cranberry sauce 1-2 days before Thanksgiving and then store it in the fridge until you're ready to serve!

And because I spaced on getting a picture of just the cranberry sauce, here you have a picture of our entire feast!
