Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Triple Berry Cranberry Sauce.
Step 1
Start by combining the thawed cranberry juice concentrate and white sugar in a medium saucepan. Place it over medium-high heat and stir until the mixture comes to a gentle boil, ensuring the sugar fully dissolves into the juice. This sweet and tangy base is the heart of your sauce!
Step 2
Next, add in the fresh and dried cranberries. Lower the heat to medium and let the mixture simmer. You'll want to cook it for about 7 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Keep an eye on those fresh cranberries as they pop open, releasing their juicy goodness, while the dried ones soften beautifully.
Step 3
Once the cranberries are ready, take the saucepan off the heat. Stir in the orange marmalade, fresh orange juice, minced orange peel, and if you like, a dash of ground allspice for that warm, aromatic touch. Mix everything together until it's well combined, and let the flavors mingle.
Step 4
Now, allow your cranberry sauce to cool completely at room temperature. Once cooled, transfer it to a glass serving dish, cover it up, and pop it in the fridge. Let it chill for at least 2 hours, or even up to 2 days ahead of your gathering. This makes it a fantastic make-ahead dish!
Step 5
When you're ready to serve, simply take it out of the fridge and enjoy this vibrant, flavorful sauce alongside your favorite dishes.
How to Serve
This cranberry sauce pairs wonderfully with turkey, ham, or even as a spread on sandwiches. It's also delightful over cream cheese as a quick appetizer!
How to Store
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. You can also freeze it for longer storage, just thaw it in the fridge before serving.
