Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a medium-sized, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the fresh cranberries, cranberry sauce, orange marmalade, diced onion, chopped apple, chopped green bell pepper, salt, minced jalapeno, lime juice, and orange liqueur. (5 minutes)

02

Step

Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally. As the sauce heats up, the fresh cranberries will begin to pop open. (10 minutes)

03

Step

Once the cranberries have cracked open, reduce the heat to low and gently simmer, uncovered, until the sauce has thickened and reduced by about one-third. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. (approximately 3 hours)

04

Step

Remove the saucepan from the heat, cover it, and allow the cranberry sauce to cool completely at room temperature. Then transfer it to an airtight container and refrigerate overnight to allow the flavors to meld and deepen. (8 hours)

  • Merle Oconnell

    This recipe is a game-changer! The little bit of spice from the jalapeño really makes it special.

  • Chanelle Lemke

    Be careful with the jalapeño. I added a whole one and it was a little too spicy for some of my guests. Start with half and taste as you go.

  • Paula Steuber

    I made this last Thanksgiving and it was a huge hit. Everyone raved about how much better it was than the canned stuff.

  • Mary Macgyver

    I didn’t have any orange liqueur on hand, so I substituted a splash of orange juice and a teaspoon of orange zest. It worked perfectly!

  • Clare Wintheiser

    The orange liqueur adds such a lovely depth of flavor. I’ll never make cranberry sauce without it again!
