"Okay, after nearly 31 years of cooking, my search for the "definitive" cranberry sauce recipe is over! This recipe is fantastic!! I doubled it, split the sugar between half white and half brown and ..." See moreadded 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon (next time I will take that down to 1/4 teaspoon). I cooked this for almost 20 minutes. This was the best cranberry sauce I have ever had! I used to just resort to canned because I never seemed to be able to make a "good" cranberry sauce.

"This is so good! I am a big fan of the canned jellied cranberry sauce, but now I am a convert. Never again will I buy cranberry sauce, I will always make it. This was so easy to make...and SO DELIC..." See moreIOUS! And yes,cranberries do pop when boiled, so put the splatter guard on and let the kids listen.

While they were boiling I gave them a good mash or two with my potato masher and the consistency was perfect. Thank you Toni!"
