- Holiday Cranberry Sauce
1 cup granulated sugar (plus 1/4 cup more possibly)
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup orange juice
zest of one orange
12 ounces fresh or frozen cranberries, rinsed
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
Using a large sauce pan, combine both sugars, the water, juice, and orange zest. Whisk until sugars are mostly dissolved. Add the cranberries. Place over medium heat and bring to a soft boil. Watch the pan carefully so that it does not boil over. You may want to cover the pan with a splash screen, to minimize the splattering.
Once the mixture is at a soft boil, reduce the heat to low and continue to simmer for approximately 20 minutes until the sauce has slightly thickened. (It will continue to thicken quite a bit as it cools in the refrigerator.) When the sauce is at your desired thickness, remove from the heat and stir in the cinnamon. Taste to see if the sauce is sweet enough. If it needs more sweetness, stir in another 1/4 cup of white sugar and stir until it is dissolved. It will dissolve quickly because of the hot sauce.
Pour the cranberry sauce into a bowl and allow to come to room temperature before covering and refrigerating. 
NOTE - You can make your cranberry sauce well ahead of your holiday meal. This will keep in the refrigerator for several days.

Thanks for keeping good food alive and well! My grandma, who never used a measuring spoon, said just before she died at 88, "People today don't know what good food really is." A good friend of my parents who is now 90 told how the women would make dinner at the church for funerals and it got to the point that the younger women couldn't cook or had no idea how to bake a pie!! Not only do you give us great food, you are a GREAT instructor!!
Thanks so much for watching and sharing so much encouragement! We really do appreciate it!
I like your cranberry sauce recipe so much better than my cranberry relish recipe. Mine involved putting the cranberries and the oranges through a grinder which meant that you had to first work very hard at removing all of the white part of the orange. Mine didn't involve cooking but I like the idea of doing it your way. Thank you for teaching me how to zest an orange because I didn't know how to either.
And that's what you call "Pop The Berries" 😅
So true. Tom & Melissa are so very inspiring. After working 18 years in food service in NY for a catering company, we have learned more from them in the past year than all those years. Simple, wholesome good food. Tom's way of teaching is amazing. Esoecially his stories associated to his recipes. Love it.
Joan & Dennis from NY 😊
would the cinnamon change the flavor much
Thanks for sharing with us soo many good recipes!!!! Made cranberry sauce for the first time today!!!! It's great!!! I am a 70 year old Baptist woman of God!!!❤❤❤
I hope you feel better soon Tom!!❤
Your cranberry sauce looks FANTASTIC and you’re right, I think it might be illegal to have Thanksgiving dinner without cranberry sauce!! I love it too!
I do have one suggestion for your channel…I think you need to change the name to Come Sit At OUR Table. This channel depends on both of you and from what I can tell about Tom he very much loves his beautiful wife, so she sits at the table too of course. At the end when you say we are welcome to come sit at your table I always feel sad for Melissa. So, from now on, could you call it our table?? Other than that, you guys ROCK, I love the videos, you put out some of the very best cooking content on RUclips. God bless you both!! ❤
Praying for our Master Physician to heal your sinuses! I feel like I’m part of your family. I enjoy all your videos! Thanks
We really do appreciate the prayers and kind words. His allergies are getting better. The Kentucky crud gets him twice a year! We are so happy to have you watching our channel.
I have never had real cranberry sauce. This looks so delicious
Im 54, and because you made this recipe look so easy, I made homemade cranberries for the first time! Thanks
Thankyou Tom and Melissa for all these delicious treats! I made your crunchy taco salad 2 weeks ago. My daughter stopped by and couldnt get enough. Making it again tonight. ❤ Tomorrow I'm making your corn pudding to go with a big country dinner I'm making.
That looks delicious! I know I'd love it because cranberry orange muffins are my favorite.
Thank you Tom and Melissa, I have enjoyed watching your posts and I will be using your cranberry sauce and stuffing! I love that you are enjoying your life after retirement. I was a teacher too! I retired 2015 and that year my husband got sick and we are now tied down to dialysis. I love to hear that you take cruise trip. Because we love when we did that.
Your capacity to teach is teriffic. Thanks for the great recipes.
I love cranberry sauce as well ,my brother -in-law always makes it soooo good.
My mother made cranberry relish for the Thanksgiving and Christmas. She has passed in 1990 and I have no idea what her recipe was but I remember fresh cranberries, whole oranges and pecans put through a grinder, plus sugar to sweeten. Oh, the wonderful taste of it! Nothing like that canned, jellied food that has no trace of the berries left.
We hope this one is close enough! Nothing is ever as good as our moms could make them.
My mother also made raw cranberry relish. Cranberries, orange maybe a lemon put thru the food grinder. As a child I didn't like it as it was too tart. For years we had the canned variety which was unusual as she was a very good cook and this could be made ahead. Now as a grandmother and great-grandmother I prefer the fresh made.
Hope you are feeling better by now. Thank you for the recipe. I have never put cinnamon in mine. I think I will this year.
Best cooking show on YT❤
Thank you! You are very kind to say that. We really do appreciate that you are watching our channel.
I love the way you present the recipes and include them in the description. Just a perfect channel.
Just in time! I just bought 2 packs of fresh cranberries. I’m looking for a recipe!
you will be part of our thanksgiving..this will be on our table.thank you for all the great recipes.hope you feel better soon & hope melissa doesn't get sick also..happy thanksgiving 🦃
I fixed your Holiday Cranberry Sauce for our Thanksgiving dinner, it was fantastic. Not a crumb left in the bowl… God bless
Thank you, Tom and Melissa, for the homemade cranberry sauce recipe. I have never made homemade cranberry sauce. My mother would make it ahead of time and I never saw her make it. Therefore, I never attempted it. I love love loved mamma’s homemade cranberry sauce. Now that I have seen the “how to” I will have this. This will be one of my table staples this year. God bless you two for sharing these recipes and sharing out of love.
PRAYING YOU"LL GET BETTER SOON! LOVE THIS RECIPE , & LOVE CRANBERRY SAUCE! GONNA MAKE IT! THANK YOU & YOUR WIFE FOR THESE RECIPES! GOD BLESS YOU 2!
Best channel on RUclips!
You are so kind! Thank you for such a nice comment. We really appreciate that support!
This sauce is great..I love it. Now I have a sauce that I can do for christmas..Thank you for this ❤❤ love your shows
Hi Tom and Melissa! Welcome back from your Cruise! Tom, hope you feel better soon. I love this recipe. Nice and easy. My Mother always made fresh cranberry sauce for Thanksgiving, Christmas and other special holidays, occasions. This brought back some wonderful memories, thank you. Now that you have tasted your cranberry sauce, your voice sounds so much better. It's a miracle cure. I can probably eat the entire bowl. I love cranberry sauce. My mother lived near a local cranberry bogue. It was always fascinating to watch them harvest the cranberries. Have an awesome day. 😋😋🥰🥰
"Now that you have tasted your cranberry sauce, your voice sounds so much better. It's a miracle cure." 😂
I love Cranberry sauce with the whole berry ! Thsnks for always posting your recipes!! God bless ❤️🙏🙋🏻🌈🌈
Your recipe is great, Tom and Melissa! Thank you. I know what you mean by the Kentucky Crud. Every time I cross over that state line into TN I feel so much better! KY is one of the worst states for environmental or plant allergies.
One Christmas I unintentionally used all of my ground cinnamon in baking so I didn’t have any for the cranberry sauce. I searched the spice drawer and saw the ground ginger so I used that instead. It was a hit so that’s what I now use. It’s really yummy!! If I have a knob of fresh then I will microplane a little of it into the cooking berries.
When my dear Mother made cranberry sauce she made it like yours, but didn’t thicken it quite as much by using more fresh OJ, then at the very end, after removing it from the heat, she would add diced celery and diced pecans. Now that is very delicious!! 😊 The crunch is nice because everything else is smooth or soft to eat (turkey, gravy, dressing) so the contrast is really nice. The perfect bite with all four!😋❤️😋
My husband has the Texas crud. Get better soon. Thanks for showing us how to make cranberry sauce while you don’t feel go great.
Hopes and prayers you feel better soon. I love making fresh cranberry sauce.
Welcome back. Feel better.
I've never made real cranberries, I thought it would be too hard. This recipe looks easy. I'm definitely making this for Thanksgiving thanks
Me, too! A couple of converts. ;)
I have no idea why anyone buys canned sauce. There's just nothing better, easier or healthier than homemade whole berry cranberry sauce. Don't forget a pinch or so of nutmeg, ginger and allspice along with the cinnamon. It's a cold and flu season antioxidant super food and perfect as a snack over cream cheese on crackers.
Yes, fresh is the best and so easy!!!
This is the same recipe my mom used for all of the years that she cooked Thanksgiving dinner. She gave me the recipe and I make this every year… and I think of her when I make it….
I'm 70 and that's the frist time I have seen it made
Good evening, Tom and Melissa. I just finished making the cranberry sauce for our Thanksgiving meal. Oh my goodness. It tastes and smells like my mamma has been in the kitchen. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing your recipes and tutorials. You and Melissa are a blessing for sharing the way you do. God bless.
Very similar to my recipe. I also add a small can (8 oz) of crushed pineapple at the very end of cooking. I have trouble finding that small can lately and have resorted to buying the 20 oz and hoping I find use for remainder. I love this recipe. I have a friend that adds apples and pecans to hers and it is good as well.
Thanks for making the navigation to the Thanksgiving Foods list easy! I kind of consider myself a "Vidiot". 😏 LOVED that sinister laugh after the 1st taste. 😂
Hope you begin to feel better soon. We also call this the Ohio Valley Syndrome. Thanks for the recipe.
I can’t wait to try this recipe with orange juice and orange zest and cinnamon
I’ve learned how to properly zest an orange at this late stage of my life! Thank you.
Tomato juice is my favorite as well
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.
I'm so glad i found your video! I've never made homemade cranberry sause and i wanted to make some this year! So thank you very much for putting out this video! Hope you feel better soon!!😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

Our family went crazy for the cranberry sauce!! it was a huge hit!!
When I was a little girl,my 15:02 Grandmother and I would look lettuce and I have been married for 57 years, and I look lettuce to this day. Thanks for bringing back good memories. I love your videos and I will use the cornbread dressing and the cranberry sauce for our Thanksgiving meal. Thank you so much.
You are so welcome. We love for food to connect us to sweet memories, and we are happy this recipe did that for you. We are honored to be a small part of your upcoming holiday meal. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
I’ve been researching recipes for cranberry sauce. There are so many different recipes! Like yours it’s different. Sounds tasty. Thank you for sharing. ❤

I’ve made this for years. Love it. Hope you feel better soon.
I made this tonight. It is my first time ever making cranberry sauce. It is delicious.
Thanks for sharing your recipe I love good cranberry sauce and make my own every time I want cranberry sauce to go with my meal! I buy the cranberry packages this time of year snd put in freezer to use throughout the year and I love wholeberry sauce so I can see the chunks after they’ve cooked up and popped , I love cranberry sauce Year round and it’s delicious on toast with butter ! God bless I really enjoy y’all’s videos Tom really gives great instructions and reasons why he does things the way he does to make the best food he can ! ❤️🙏🙋🏻🌈🌈
I hope you feel better soon! I have always eaten the jellied cranberry sauce from the can and love it! I didn’t know homemade was so easy. Thank you so much for sharing!!
I used to love the jellied cranberry sauce too but now I love my sister’s homemade sauce.
I never would have added cinnamon to cranberry sauce, but I'll add it this year! Thank you for all your recipes. I'm going to check out your Thanksgiving playlist.
I just made your cranberry sauce. Had to eat some with our pork tenderloin for Sunday Dinner. Delicious! Hard to stop grabbing a spoonful. I also put some cream cheese on a Ritz cracker and some cranberry sauce in top. Talk about good!! Thanks, Tom!
Already told my son I'm bringing homemade cranberry sauce to his house for Thanksgiving. This recipe sounds delicious 😋. Never made it before cause I thought it was hard to make. But it's not. You just proved that to me. Can't wait! I normally hate cranberry sauce but love to drink cranberry-grape juice. But your recipe just sounded great! 🙂🦋
Cranberry-black Cherry is now my favorite go to
We love cranberry sauce here for the holidays. Hope you feel better Tom. Have a great weekend
I make my own cranberry sauce in stead of an orange , I use a small can of mandarin orange and the juice plus the zest of an orange. I will be using the brown sugar and some cinnamon. Keep the ideas and recipes coming ❤🦃🥰
We sure will! Thanks for sharing your version with us as well. We love all the great cooks who watch and let us know their ideas. It's amazing how kind people are to share their knowledge with us all. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving season!
My family loves homemade cranberry sauce. I add some walnuts.
We really enjoy it, too! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Our Thanksgiving was in October and this year, cans were $5! I decided to make my own. I did it in the pressure cooker with a bag of fresh cranberries, 1/2 cup dark brown sugar, 1/2 cup maple syrup, zest and juice of a lemon, 1 cup of water and 1/2 tsp cinnamon. I had no idea how it would turn out, but it was delicious! tart and sweet, not too much of either. It was very runny when I pulled it out of the pot, but by the next day when it had cooled in the fridge, it was just the right consistency. I like the orange better, but all I had were lemons. Christmas is coming though so ... lol
I will be making this ‘also’ from y’all, for Thanksgiving Dinner. Thank you both. I Sooo appreciate y’all’s genuineness. I Guessed from your First Video, You Are A Teacher❤️ Thank y’all so very much. Never in my 65 years have I had Someone’ impress me as you did in your young life to guide your career. Blessings to you both for a Wonderful Thanksgiving 🙏🏻
Wonderful recipe, thank you
As we say in south Alabama.. cranberries don’t belong in a can! I make mine almost like yours… yum 😋 😊
1:16 thanksgiving isn't that without the cranberry! My mum made a cranberry relish with fresh cranberries, oranges, walnuts and sugar to taste. With her meat grinder she ground up the cranberries and entire orange. Your recipe sounds absolutely delicious!
That sounds so good with orange and walnuts!
@ozziecatsmom it is. I still make from time to time but we all know nothing seems to taste the way mum made it, right. Friend of mine couldn't believe she didn't cook the cranberries. Nope, straight from the freezer, the wash and while still a bit frozen she'd grind them up with the oranges and add the chopped walnuts. It was so good!
@@Daphne-cp8ss I might try it!
I make cranberry relish just like your every year. Learned it from my mom.
It's really easy to make too. I never saw her measure anything just used the whole bag of cranberries and the oranges depended on how big or small they were. I think you'll like it, it's a change from cranberry sauce which basically gets cooked. Ah, thanksgiving memories. ☺️
I love homemade cranberry sauce! I want to try your recipe looks soooooo good.👍😋
I hope you feel better. I am so sorry that you got sick after your vacation. It is so kind and thoughtful of you and Melissa to make this video even though you’re not 100%. I am making your sauce today. God Bless you both ❤
We appreciate you so much for watching our channel. And thank you for your kind words. We hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your family.
Make mine like this but also add about a half cup of chopped pecans (small pieces).
Yummy.yummy.yummy.good.food.😊❤
I love cranberry’s and a cranberry relish ! Thanks Tom
Thanks so much for sharing!! I'll be trying this recipe on Thanksgiving Day!!😋
My mom was the first person to tell me how easy it was to make fresh cranberry sauce. The only ingredients I use are: fresh cranberries, orange juice, and sugar (the directions that are on the bag of cranberries) ... also I cook them a shorter time ... just until the cranberries pop open.
I'm sure that's a great recipe as well. We really appreciate that you are watching our channel. Hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday.
You’re bringing back beautiful memories from my past and I appreciate it so much.
Thanks for putting it in your playlist. Great recipe. Love 💕 and Hugs. ❤❤❤
In Texas we rock the beans. :) A friend of mine who didn't cook much was very confused.
Looks delicious! I didn’t know it was so easy to make homemade cranberry sauce. I love cranberries! I make a cranberry shortbread that is absolutely delicious and perfect dessert for the holidays!
Looks so good hope you get better soon
Definitely trying this recipe! I grew up on the cranberry sauce straight from the can, so I wish I could thrill my parents (RIP) with a gourmet version! 😂 My Daddy would have said “Tastes like Downtown!” 🤎😂
I have 2 tips for you:
Get a Neti pot and use it every morning. We both use it in the shower every day. You can add a little pinch of fine sea salt or saline. It’s a miracle for allergies or any respiratory problems. For real. The Drummer is also a Blues singer so it’s not funny when he’s sick or stuffy. The neti pot is a saving grace.
I freeze cranberry sauce in an ice cube tray, then put the cubes in a freezer container. A cube is just enough for a sandwich (The Drummer LOVES cranberry sauce on almost any meat sandwich) or to serve with dinner all year. It awesome with barbecued ribs! Or pork chops. Or chicken. So I’ll make a double batch of this - one for Thanksgiving dinner and one to freeze up!
Happy Thanksgiving!
I love Homemade Cranberry Sauce! My Momma still makes it ever year at Thanksgiving😁 Thank you for sharing all your yummy recipes!!
Thank you for making a playlist for Thanksgiving. I’m not very organized, so this really helps. Have a good day. 🌼
I. Hope. You. Feel. Better. Soon. Mr. Tom. God. Bless❤😂
Hope you feel better soon
I definately have to make this for thanksgiving. This is one of my favorite sides. Of course I’ll have to have a can of cranberry sauce for the people who just won’t eat homemade. I sort of feel the same as you do. I was supposed to get a shoulder replaced this past Thursday but I had a fever so they postponed my surgery. I thought I just had a bad cold. Now I’ll have both of my arms for thanksgiving dinner lol. Feel better soon Tom. 😊
Never made homemade cranberry sauce but that sure looks good 😊
I made the cranberry sauce and chili sauce meatballs for our family fellowship and it was a hit!!!
I love my cranberry too.❤️❤️
God bless your sweet heart, get well quick ! Um um good , thank you guys. I love yall.❤ I use to visit a aunt who lived in Newburn, Tenn. I got married in obion co.
This looks delicious. I absolutely love cranberry sauce alone; with fish or on a sandwich. I did not know how easy it would be to make homemade. I will be at Publix today and will buy the ingredients for this recipe.
Hope you enjoy it like we do. Homemade is, of course, always the best! Thanks so much for watching our channel and have a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday.
Most of the time I use cranberries and just cook them with sugar and water, and I make a sauce for the knock off Costco roll ups with the turkey and cheese and lettuce and tomato and I mix the cranberry with cream cheese for a dressing for the wraps and it’s very good like that also but I can’t wait to try this one with the orange juice and cinnamon and orange zest. Thank you very much for the recipe and take care of both of you, love your recipes all the recipes are so good and you make it so easy with all your stuff and step-by-step instructions
We always make fresh cranberries , use orange as well, will try the brown sugar and cinnamon addition .We also do a cranberry relish with orange and walnuts that is not cooked , just put in food chopper. Both are delicious. Have a great Thanksgiving. Thanks for the recipes. Keep them coming......
Well, I’ve been using the zester wrong side up all my life. 😂 I’m going to make your recipe this year. Thanks!
We hope you like it as much as we do. Thanks so much for watching our channel and have a wonderful holiday season!
Just wanted to say “hi” and thank you for your recipes. I make homemade cranberry sauce for our holidays and enjoyed seeing how someone else makes it. I do it the same way but without the orange. My daughter-in-law and myself are the only ones that like it and she doesn’t like it with the orange so I do it plain for her. We always have a lot leftover so I had to find many ways for the excess. I think our favorite is with peanut butter. The cranberry sauce is a great contrast with the PB. PB and cranberry sauce sandwich . Yum!
Thank you for sharing w us. Fresh is always better. Hope you feel better. 🙏 Appreciate the Thanksgiving section Melissa.
I've never seen anyone cook homemade cranberry sauce for that long. I like mine a bit more juicy, but I bet the cinnamon adds a kick.
Thanks Tom and Melissa for another fine recipe, really enjoy Cranberry Sauce. Have a blessed Thanksgiving Day. Fred.
Thank you, Fred, for watching our channel and for such an encouraging comment. We really do appreciate it. We hope your Thanksgiving is a day full of blessings for you and your family and friends.
My mom always said “sort the beans”. Meaning sort good from bad.
We just made this recipe. It’s amazing and very complex in flavors!! Thank you so much for sharing it.
I made your cranberry sauce recipe for Thanksgiving, it is wonderful. It is by far the best I’ve ever tasted. The only difference in makings it was I didn’t have an orange so used Tang powder as substitute and was wonderfully pleased.
Feel better, Tom.😊
Thanks to allergy medication, he is improving! We really appreciate that you are watching our channel. Have a great afternoon!
I made this for Thanksgiving. It was a hit. Indeed two batches so there'd be plenty for leftovers. Thanks for you video.
Great tutorial! I love how you explain everything so thoroughly. Your camera lady did an awesome job too. Wonderful teamwork! I can't wait to make some cranberry sauce for the first time! ^^
I'm going to have to try that cranberry sauce recipe
This is delicious on vanilla ice cream.
I’m from Letcher county in Kentucky. I have a RUclips channel also. We always look our beans too. I really enjoy all your videos. Have a blessed weekend. 😊
This looks easy & delicious ❗️Thank You for this recipe.
