Year after year, the memory of standing by an oven stirring this cranberry sauce with orange juice gets deeper and deeper into my brain.

Holiday season means many things to many people, and to most of us (very much me) there is a distinct association of this time of year with delicious food. Savory turkeys and hams, rich, flavorful stuffing and creamy mashed potatoes. And what can absolutely make or break a good meal is the sauce.

Enter cranberry sauce. With OJ, in this case.

Though some like to keep things traditional (no orange), I don’t see anything wrong in amplifying flavor and adding a little fun to the classics.

Cranberry sauce is tasty almost no matter what. Tart, sweet. From the stove or from a can. Made with fresh berries, made with frozen berries.

I don’t think I’ve ever had a cranberry sauce where I thought “Ugh, that was terrible.”

So I think it’s an okay sauce to play around with. Some might even call it forgiving. Not a science, but an art. And that’s my favorite way to cook.

What Is Cranberry Sauce with Orange Juice?

Cranberry sauce with orange juice is exactly what it sounds like: making regular cranberry sauce but adding some orange juice.

The OJ acts a little like a sweetener, too. But mostly, it just adds a nice complexity and depth of flavor.

Ingredients for Cranberry Sauce with Orange Juice

Orange or OJ?

To make cranberry sauce with orange juice, you will need either an orange to juice fresh or a bottle of orange juice. Either way works but fresh is always a bit nicer. (And are there many things in this world as delicious as fresh-squeezed orange juice?)

Should I Use Fresh or Frozen Cranberries?

The easy answer to fresh or frozen cranberries is… either! It doesn’t matter. Both fresh and frozen cranberries taste the same after a few minutes of boiling on the stovetop.

Cranberry Sauce With Less Sugar

To make cranberry sauce with less sugar, I actually eliminate refined sugar altogether.

There are several ways to replace sugar in cranberry sauce: honey, maple syrup, or (the most “whole” way) dates.

I make a date paste for this recipe by blending 15-20 dates in a food processor (pre-soaking in hot water helps).

Using date paste is no different from using any other type of sweetener. Simply add it when you add everything else to the pot.

As mentioned above, orange juice adds a touch of sweetness, too – depending on how sweet your orange is (or store-bought juice, which is fine, too).

The other alternative, which is admittedly much easier if you don’t have date paste already made, is to use maple syrup. I’m a big fan of maple syrup, as it’s still a whole food ingredient, and it’s easy to just grab from the fridge.

How To Make Cranberry Sauce with Orange Juice

NOTE: You can make this recipe faster and easier by skipping the date paste entirely and just using maple syrup.

To make cranberry sauce with orange juice is ridiculously easy. Once you’ve made your date paste (double the recipe or use maple syrup), simply add all the ingredients to a pot.

Cranberries, orange juice, date paste (or maple syrup) and zest can all go in together.

Turn the heat to high until everything is boiling. Turn down the heat as soon as it’s bubbling to a low simmer, and cook for about 10 minutes or until the cranberries begin popping.

Feel free to mash as many as you’d like to thicken the sauce!

How Many Servings Are In This Cranberry Sauce?

The amount of servings in this recipe depends on how much cranberry sauce people serve themselves.

When all said and done, you’ll have about 3 cups.

Though serving size varies from person to person, this amount fits a good-sized dinner bowl and looks like the perfect amount when placed on a table.

Prep Time: 5

Cook Time: 10

Total Time: 15

Servings:

Ingredients

12 oz cranberries (fresh or frozen)
2 cups date paste or 1/2 cup maple syrup
juice of 1 orange
1 tsp orange zest optional

Instructions

Add all ingredients to a pot and turn the stove on high. Once boiling, turn the heat down to low and simmer for 10 minutes.
When cranberries start popping, you can mash some of them with your spoon to thicken the sauce.
If the sauce is too tart/not sweet enough for your taste, add more maple syrup or date paste to sweeten as necessary. As noted in the post, the sweeter/riper your orange/orange juice is, the more sweetness that will add or subtract, as well.
