One bag whole cranberries

One orange

Half cup sugar(more or less for taste)

One cup chopped pecans

Youll need one bowl, and one medium sized saucepan. Grate a little of the orange peel into the bowl. Then cut the orange in half and juice it into the saucepan. Add the sugar and cranberries. Bring to a low boil, simmering until nice and thick and the cranberries start to pop out of their skins. Turn the mixture into your bowl. Add pecans. Mix it all together.

Add more sugar if it isn't sweet enough. It sure does beat the cranberry sauce in a can!

I do essentially the same with my recipe with the noted difference of adding a stick of cinnamon to the boiling mixture. I agree that the canned version is a waste of money and the homemade version takes so litte time and effort.

After the holidays I like to freeze any leftover suuce and use as a condiment on sandwiches.

This sounds too good to have only on holidays. Cranberries are so good for you. Who says you have to limit them to Christmas and Thanksgiving! I'm going to try your recipe and freeze it in portions for a healthful treat any time.
