Everyone has their own favorite homemade cranberry sauce recipe and this is the one we use most often. My husband does prefer the canned stuff, but he will eat this sweet and tart version occasionally. Yum I love this sauce with my favorite turkey stuffing sandwich... I can't wait.

How To Make kato's favorite cranberry sauce

Step 1

Put a large pot on medium heat, and add the sugar, water, orange juice, and salt.

Stir until the sugar is dissolved, then add the cranberries, cherries and orange zest.
Step 3

Cook on medium heat until the cranberries start to pop, then simmer for 8 - 10 minutes. Stir frequently to keep from burning.
Step 4

Remove the pot from the heat and let sit on counter, allowing it to cool to room temperature. (30 - 45 min)
Step 5

Cranberry sauce will thicken as it cools. When cooled, cover and place in fridge to chill, until needed.
