Ocean Spray Cranberry Sauce Recipe
This recipe is inspired by the classic cranberry sauce often associated with American holiday meals, particularly Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Equipment
- Medium saucepan
- Measuring cups
- Spoon for stirring
- Serving bowl or airtight container for storage
Ingredients
- 12 ounces fresh or frozen cranberries
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup water
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon optional
- 1/4 teaspoon orange zest optional
Instructions
- Rinse the Cranberries:
- If you are using fresh cranberries, make sure to first ream it well with cold water so there is no dirt or debris.
- Combine Ingredients:
- In a medium size sauce pot, combine the cranberries sugar and water. If you prefer to have a subtle hint of spice, then add the dried nutmeg and orange zest at this stage.
- Cook the Sauce:
- Add arrowroot slurry and let it come to a boil over medium-high heat while stirring occasionally.
- When it starts to boil, reduce the heat and let it simmer for 10-15 minutes. The cranberries should start to pop as the sauce thickens.
- Cool the Sauce:
- Take off heat and let cool. It will thicken as it cools.
- Store:
- Place the cranberry sauce into a serving bowl or an air-tight container. And if you can not wait just setup the ready Camembert in fridge for an hour and serve when flavours mix together. The sauce will keep refrigerated for up to two weeks.
Notes

- It can also be used as a topping for desserts, like cheesecake or ice cream.
