Don’t buy store-bought canned cranberry sauce that uses ingredients such as high fructose corn syrup. Instead, make your own!

Making homemade cranberry sauce may sound complicated but it is super easy to make. Minus the cooking and the cooling down time, it takes less than 10 minutes.

Cranberries and orange juice in two separate Pyrex measuring glasses. Add maple syrup in a measuring cup with a cinnamon stick nearby.

There are only four simple ingredients including cranberries, fresh squeezed orange juice, maple syrup, and a cinnamon stick.

Once it’s done cooking remove the cinnamon stick and use a potato masher to mash some or all of the berries. Let it cool to thicken then store it in a glass container. You can make it several days ahead so it’s one less thing you must do on Thanksgiving!

This quick and easy cranberry sauce adds a burst of flavor to your Thanksgiving meal, and it can be made with minimal effort. Enjoy!
