Cinnamon, ginger, and cloves boost the taste of this traditional whole-berry cranberry sauce. Vary the character by adding toasted nuts or other fruits. Use leftover sauce in our Dinner Tonight recipes.

I love this sauce! It's good by itself and on other food and it makes the house smell so good when it's cooking. I can't believe I ever ate canned cranberry!

Delicious! I made this sauce last year, and we ended up eating most of it before it was time for dinner. I'm making this sauce again this year, and after trying this, I just can't go back to the canned version. This recipe is fast, easy and definitely worth it. This will be the cranberry sauce I make every year from now on.

This is my go-to cranberry sauce recipe every holiday season. Leftover sauce is great spread on toast, over Brie, or served with homemade pumpkin bread.

I made this last Thanksgiving and plan to make it again. I cut the sugar to less than 1 cup and used a mixture of light brown and white sugar. It was delicious.

This is the best cranberry sauce... We make a few batches and freeze it until next season of fresh cranberries. Its like having fresh all the time.

Is there reason that I couldn't use splenda instead of sugar for this sauce? thanks,

I make something similar, I add a whole diced orange at the end when I take it off the heat, it adds a freshness that is wonderful. I peel the orange part and cut up for zest and then peel the white part and trow it away, it is bitter.
