A tried and true family recipe for homemade Cranberry Sauce. This easy recipe is made in the oven for a no-mess, quick clean up.
You just can’t have Thanksgiving without Cranberry Sauce. I know there are lovers and haters out there, but I’m one of the lovers. I love to have a bite of turkey with a bite of cranberry sauce…it just makes the perfect bite, in my opinion. And talk about leftover turkey sandwiches…I slather them with mayonnaise and cranberry sauce…YUM!
The thought of standing over another boiling pot that’s spitting and spattering with cranberry goo isn’t appealing to most, especially when there are so many other things to make. This recipe is one of the easiest I’ve seen and it’s very, very good – no standing over a hot stove, everything’s done in the oven.
This is so easy! It comes out perfect every time. So if you haven’t made cranberry sauce yet, it’s not too late!

Ingredients
- 2-12 oz pkgs fresh cranberries

Instructions
- Spray a large baking dish with cooking spray and fill it with 2-12 oz pkgs of fresh cranberries.
- Cover tightly with foil and place a lid on top. (This will splatter while in the oven, so make sure to at cover tightly with foil.)
- Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour.
- While cranberries are still hot, stir in 1 (12 oz) jar of Smucker's Sweet Orange Marmalade (I recommend Smuckers…others I have tried were too bitter) and 3 tablespoons lemon juice.

- Stir before spooning into a serving dish.
