Homemade Cranberry Sauce

Cultural Context

Cranberry sauce is a traditional accompaniment to turkey during Thanksgiving in the United States. It is often homemade to enhance the flavor and freshness compared to store-bought versions. The tartness of cranberries complements the savory flavors of roasted meats, making it a staple during holiday feasts.

Pour the partially thawed juice concentrate into a medium size pot. Turn your stove on medium high. Wait for the concentrate to completely melt.

Turn your heat to high. When it starts to bubble, turn it down to medium. Make sure you constantly stir to prevent it from sticking to the bottom.

4

Cook until your cranberries fall apart or burst. Once they do, turn your heat to low, and let cook for 5 minutes.

5

Remove the cranberry sauce from the heat and transfer it to a heat-safe bowl. Let it cool until it's no longer steaming-hot, then cover the bowl with plastic wrap.

Refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving!
