Today, I decided to make fresh cranberry sauce but could only find frozen cranberries at the store. So I created this recipe with frozen berries, I found the end result to be on the tart side; while my husband loved it, so I am sharing it here with all of you. For a sweeter sauce add 1/4 - 1/2 cup more of the golden yellow sugar.

Ingredients For tart cranberry sauce

  • 1/2 c
    sweet pressed apple cider (non alcoholic)
  • 1/2 c
    golden yellow sugar, (for a sweeter sauce add 1/4 -1/2 cup more)
  • 2 c
    frozen cranberries

How To Make tart cranberry sauce

  • 1
    Add apple cider, gold sugar and cranberries to a pot.
  • 2
    Put on high heat until the ingredients start to boil. (about 5 minutes) Once it starts to boil, you will need to watch the pot and stir often so it doesn't burn.
  • 3
    Lower the heat to medium and continue stirring the pot for 5 - 10 minutes; until the consistency you prefer is achieved. If you still have whole cranberries they can easily be squished against the side of the pot.
  • 4
    Remove from stove, allow to cool, then spoon into your container. Cover and refrigerate until needed.
