Homemade Cranberry Sauce {Video}

November 11, 2015 by Felesha 10 Comments

This super easy and delicious traditional sauce made with fresh cranberries, apples and pears is perfect for topping all things thanksgiving! 

Homemade Cranberry Sauce

The American Thanksgiving Tradition: Cranberry Sauce. I just can’t eat turkey and cornbread dressing without it! What about you?

I just love the sweet vs. the tanginess of it all. The perfect balance of the two is crucial. Growing up we always had that canned stuff though. You know that gelatinous-jiggly-cylinder-shaped-striped object that goes “ploop” when you open it.

Yep! That’d be the perfect description if you ask me. Don’t get me wrong. It tastes great but there’s just something not quite right about it in my opinion. Unless I’m making the hubby’s family Peach Dump Pie recipe, I’m just not a big fan of canned fruit. After all, this blog is about using fresh ingredients, right?

Homemade Cranberry Sauce

So for the past few years, I’ve been making my own a day or two ahead of thanksgiving.  I add in a couple other best fruits of the season, diced apples and pears to take it up a notch. It kind of makes you go, hmmm…what is that because it’s yummy? Guys, this is probably the easiest recipe you’ll ever make as everything gets tossed in a saucepan for a few and then you’re done! It’s always that kick start for me to get in the swing of making all things “Thanksgiving”! You know, like I’ve really accomplished something big to catapult me into the season. 🙂 

Homemade Cranberry Sauce

Are you guys getting excited about Thanksgiving? I sure am as there is so much to be thankful for including the gift of salvation and eternal life through the shed blood of Jesus. Glory to God that Heaven is my home! Where will you spend eternity? Say Grace and enjoy!

    I have never had any kind of cranberry sauce before. I think this year I should change that!
