Homemade Cranberry Sauce Recipe
This homemade cranberry sauce is super easy, sweet, tangy, and delicious! You just can’t beat the taste of fresh cranberries. The pomegranate juice goes so well with it too!
I’ve convinced that cranberry and pomegranate are like the best couple ever! They belong together and compliment each others flavor beautifully.
If you’re not a fan of pomegranate juice then I highly suggest you use cranberry juice as a replacement. It taste just as good, but without the pomegranate aftertaste that some folks dislike. You can also use water as a last resort. And I do mean VERY last result.

Notes:
~TIPS~
- Replace the pomegranate juice with cranberry or apple juice or water, if desired.
- This gets better as it sits so make it ahead. It will also thicken and set as it cools.
- Don’t skip that FRESH orange juice.
