Here is my go-to cranberry sauce for holidays. It’s just sweet enough, with notes of maple and orange.
Dropping in with a quick maple orange cranberry sauce recipe in the lead-up to the main event tomorrow, which is my Homemade Beyond Meat Meatloaf recipe that I’ve been talking about over on Instagram! This cranberry sauce is my go-to for Thanksgiving and Christmas: the maple syrup provides just a hint of sweetness without overpowering the delightful tartness of the cranberries. Orange juice and zest provide that festive touch.

Maple Orange Cranberry Sauce
Description
Simple and healthy homemade cranberry sauce with orange and maple. A holiday staple!
Ingredients
- 1 lb (454 g) organic cranberries (fresh or thawed from frozen)
- ⅓ cup pure maple syrup
- 3 tbsp freshly squeezed orange juice
- Freshly grated zest from 1 organic orange
Instructions
- Place the cranberries in a medium saucepan. Add the maple syrup and bring to a simmer over medium heat. The cranberries will make popping sounds as they burst. Turn down heat to medium low and cook, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries thicken into a sauce/compote consistency. This will take 15-20 minutes.
- Remove the sauce from the heat and stir in the orange juice and zest.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge until ready to use. This sauce will keep for at least 2 weeks.
