Ditch the canned cranberry sauce that's full of HFCS and maybe even BPA. Here's a recipe for a fresher, REAL alternative.

  • Author: Bruce Bradley
  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 3 cups, serves 8-10 people 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups fresh whole cranberries (about 10 ounces)
  • 1 ½ cup fresh or canned pineapple (crushed)
  • 1 small apple (peeled and grated (about 1/3 cup))
  • 3/4 cup honey
  • 2/3 cup of juice from fresh orange and pineapple (add water, if needed)
  • ½1 teaspoon orange zest

Instructions

  1. Wash cranberries
  2. Zest and juice orange
  3. Put cranberries, diced apple, and pineapple in a 6-quart saucepan and add juice.
  4. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Cook for a few minutes until the cranberries begin to pop.
  5. Reduce heat, keep stirring, and continue to cook for about 10 minutes. The sauce will start to thicken.
  6. Remove the pan from the stove and add honey, orange zest, stir, and let it cool.
  7. Cover and refrigerate until you’re ready to serve.

Notes

This cranberry sauce can be made a week in advance.
For the apples, I use a firm, tart apple like Granny Smith.
We recommend using organic ingredients when possible.
