- 1 cup apple cider (100% juice)
- ¾ cup sugar
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground allspice
- ⅛ teaspoon ground cloves
- ⅛ teaspoon ground ginger
- 12 oz package of fresh (or frozen) cranberries
Instructions
- Combine apple cider, sugar, and spices in a medium saucepan.
- Bring to boil.

Notes
Make Ahead: Cranberry sauce improves after a day or two in the refrigerator, while the flavors meld together. Ideally, make this cranberry sauce a day before the holiday meal. Save time on the busy cooking day!
Storage: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 10 days and in the freezer for up to three months. Defrost in the refrigerator.
Leftovers: Put any leftover cranberry sauce to good use on top of ice cream, waffles, pancakes, or in turkey sandwiches or crepes.
Pair with: Turkey (of course), pork, and ham.
Substitutions:
- Replace apple cider with apple juice, wine, grape juice, or sparkling cider. All of the above go well with cranberries and mulled spices.
- Replace all of the spices in the ingredient list with 1 ¼ teaspoon of mulling spices or pumpking pie spice.
- Replace white sugar with brown sugar.
