Simple, and different than the usual cranberry sauce. It’s something you’ll want to eat all cranberry season long. Plus, this easy recipe for cranberry sauce only uses 3 ingredients!
Is cranberry sauce served hot or cold?
Usually, cranberry sauce is served straight out of the can or chilled. This sauce can be served at room temperature or warm.
How do you make cranberry sauce less tart?
I prefer my cranberry sauce a little tart, but if you’d like it a little sweeter, you can add a tablespoon of honey at a time until you reach the desired sweetness.
How do you fix cranberry sauce that is too sweet?
If your cranberry sauce is too sweet, you can add a splash of apple cider vinegar or lemon juice. But do so sparingly.
3-Ingredients & variations
For this simple cranberry sauce, you can use fresh or frozen cranberries. Pour your cranberries onto a baking tray. Drizzle with the honey, pour over the orange juice and cook 15-18 minutes at 400F until the cranberries start to burst.
Add the orange zest while still warm and toss to coat. Then, cool completely before serving, or serve warm!
It’s the perfect side dish and tastes great spread on bread for turkey sandwiches the next day.

- Variation 1: Use apple juice instead of orange juice.
- Variation 2: Add 2 tsp of chopped tarragon.
