Whether you are whipping up a vegan meal or sticking to a traditional turkey dinner, cranberry sauce has to be there to top off your main course, or even just to eat on its own.

I have a question maria, what do you think about blending this after the whole process, to make it into a smooth sauce?
I love that idea and honestly prefer my cranberry sauce like that.
What do you think about using honey instead?
I think that will work just fine! Just watch it carefully and stir often!
This is the first time I’ve made cranberry sauce and it turned out surprisingly well as I made some adjustments, I didn’t have brown sugar. I used 1/2 of regular sugar and 1/2 cup of maple syrup and it turned out great!
That is a great swap!!!

Thank you so much, Miranda!
I honestly was so quick to make it. The flavour is really good considering the brown sugar, and was quite easy to make! I highly recommend it!
Thanks so much, Gloria!
