Cranberry Sauce with Orange Juice

This bright cranberry sauce pairs tart, jammy berries with the citrusy lift of fresh orange juice, rounded by a gentle sweetness. It cooks quickly to a glossy, spoonable texture that sets as it cools—ideal for holiday tables, roast dinners, or spreading on leftovers.

Cranberry Sauce with Orange Juice
  1. 1

    Assemble all the ingredients.

    In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar and orange juice and stir until the sugar dissolves. Stir in the cranberries and cook, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries begin to pop, about 10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Transfer the mixture to a serving bowl; the cranberry sauce will thicken as it cools.
